Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

Love the Hooker pipe on the '73 CR!

YES! When I was about 12 the local mom/pop "cycle supply" had a Hooker for a Husky hanging on the wall behind the counter. I LOVED that thing. Had some 'coolness' factor or something!

Nice JOB Mr Svensbike !!!

I recently picked up this 1980 CR390. Does anyone recognize this pipe? It resembles the CR250 pipe only bigger. OR or WR, I dunno. When this picture was taken the pipe wasn't mounted just sitting there. I mounted it up and it fits fine, just doesn't look like the typical CR pipe. Any help would be appreciated. - VintageMX

Looks like a pipe off a 250

Yes it looks like a 250 exhaust, not sure it is a 250 HVA exhaust ( see weldings).

It fits mates to the Exhaust port on the jug perfectly as well as all the hangers, so I wasn't sure. Thanks for everyone's help. Much appreciated.

Well, it looks good and it fits. So I guess the real question becomes "How does it run?"

Well it actually seems to run pretty good although I haven't had a chance to really "wring it out" yet. It's baffling. I saw a picture of another CR390 on bikepics.com that looks like the same pipe. Jetting appears to be good too.

My 74 Mag 250.

Just restored and not yet run. I plan to run it at the weekend.

The box won't select first gear , although everything looked perfect inside...

Yes, the box has to be in third, with two teeth showing on the top side and one on the bottom side of the selector pinion thingy don't know what that's all about, but, it's the only way the box will work.

I'm going inside next week to take a look. While I'm at it, I'll be checking that I've not damaged the primary side main seal, the motor seems to smoke more than I remember

Or maybe I put the seal in the wrong way round Is it spring side to the bearing on the primary side mainshaft seal?

If you don't set it up like that,you will run off the shift teeth.The rachet teeth will have nothing to grab.Most time when it's not done incorrectly it will shift only into 1st,2nd and 3rd gears.Will it shift up to fith with the motor not running? Yes the seal goes in with the spring faceing the bearing.

Thanks for the confirmation

You wouldn't happen to know what the rear wheel bearing number is would you?

I have 6301, 6302 and 6304 in stock and don't want the bike disabled if they're 6303, I'd rather buy them in first...

thanks in advance,

Simon.

Man.... how can you DO THAT.... it freaks me out how much gear have you got man..
You cant be married.
I am blown away

Married with 4 kids and a couch...

The wife likes bikes almost as much as me! Her father ran a motorbike shop and my brother-in-law races speedway, that's how we met. Suppose I'm just lucky

I keep plenty of stock because I'm always tinkering with old mx bikes, beats having to nip out for anything.

is that a '74 125? nice bike
