    I started to put my bike together today and thought that I would post a couple photos of the mystery Husky that I am working on. If anyone has a any insight as to what it might be chime in. I think it may be an 81 420 automatic. I bought it as a basket case. The serial number on the frame is CN03803 with 35mm forks it has a yellow seat and Koni shocks. It had a 250cc engine 2089. Anyway here are a couple photos. I am getting new tires put on in the next couple days. Will post an update.

    CN frame# would indicate frame is off of a 1982 CR

    2089 Motor would indicate it is a WR or XC Motor... Probably an XC and could be either a 82 or an 83 250.

    What makes you think it is a 420 Auto?

    Forks are off a 79 or 80 . 35MM were usually black in color . Unusual to have these forks on this frame as the 40 mm that would have been stock on a 82 CR were much much better.

    Nice restoration by the way. Very clean. Looks great.

    I was kicking it around with another husky guy who knows the bikes much better than I and that was his opinion. I thought that the CR's in that era came with 40mm forks and the Ohlins not 35mm forks and Koni's. I was initially suspecting that it was an XC of some of displacement. I wish I had some before pictures. I haven't changed any of the colors of the somponents at all. It will be nice to get my wheels on so I can roll it around the garage.
