    Thanks for that exactly what I was after.
    Is there many issues with these models?

    The Gurtner carb should be replaced with a Bing or Mikuni if it has not already been done, otherwise it's typical solid Husky.

    I have been told that ot has a seat height of 930mm which is lots more than the 800mm in the brochure.
    I actually think from the pics it might be a 77?
    The side stand is on the swingarm not the frame.

    I had a 76. Looked just like this one. Its right around the 800mm for seat height. Looks like a later pipe on it. Mine had the pipe down the left side. Yours could be a 76 or 77.

    Does anybody have a brochure for a 1977 WR360?

    Is there any difference between a CR & WR frame on the 76 models.

    Just trying to work out why this one is a bit taller than it should be.
    Has a 76 frame number on it. Pretty high one though just below ML15000.

    That is a later (probably 390) pipe and those shocks are MUCH longer than stock, they look like 15" and stock were in the 13.5" range.

    Yes, original shocks on the 76 were only 12 3/4" long. The swingarm appears to be 1977 (or later?) with the integral kickstand and chain rub pad. The ignition cover and pipe (as was already said) are later as well.

    I have to look and see if I have more info/pics on the 77.

    Could be a very late model that Husky used 77 parts on and/or someone "upgraded" with newer model parts. Whatever the story, VERY nice bike!!! :thumbsup:

    The 360WR did not come ever with the crossover pipe from the factory as 1977 was the last year for it and it was a leftover 1976 at that. Kartwheel is right, it would have to be a 390 pipe as the 250 pipe likely has a smaller mount at the cylinder.

    That is a 390CR pipe. Better pipe, if a little louder. The 390WR pipes had a circlip holding the end cap of the silencer and a spark arrestor inside.
    The bonus with that pipe is it does not burn your left thigh as much as the 360 one.

    Cracking looking bike :-)

    I have a 79 cr390 pipe on my 78 cr250. It fit right on, fit the flange and all. But I'm not sure what flange is on it as the motor is a 76.

    Good bike, ran nice as well.
