The tank looks like it is in pretty good shape.....gotta have something that is still in it's original form. That thing brings back so many menories of riding my buddies Husky. Those things were the shiznit for the dez!!!

Yeah it's not too bad but has two small dimples from a tank slapper once or twice . Best thing is no rust inside

Thanks Andy, BTW I will be riding it at GMB this year..

That is one sweet looking bike - very nice work! I can't get over
the excellent condition it was in to start with, you just don't see
unrestored 30+ year old bikes that aren't clapped out very often.
A true testament to the care and dedication you provided over
the years.

I love the old Huskys. Back in the day, they were the bike to beat.
I switched to Husqvarna for one year -'76 (got a support deal from
a local dealer) and did some damage on a 360 Mikola Replica. Great
times.

The 360 MR is one of the bikes on my list to restore in the near future.
After working on Hondas recently, it will be interesting to see what the
parts availability and cost is like for one of the euros - can't wait.

Thanks dogger, you'd be surprised on how easy the parts are to come by for these Husky's but man they are real proud of those parts.
Makes me crazy having to pay out big bucks for them. I guess that's why they have made a business out of it..

Beauty isn't cheap...at least that is what Char says.

Have you tried PVP Cycles in Louisville Ky for parts yet? I also used stuff from Hall's In Springfield Il. for my last 2 Husky's.....

Heck no it ain't... that's why I don't even bother trying.

The bike looks great. I put in a few laps on a '74 Husky 250 the other day... had an absolute blast on it!

Thanks Andy, Halls had some parts I was have trouble finding. Prices seem to be better too...

[OLDMXRACER 393]

Sweet! Glad you found something with them.

[Flash393]

I am all most done, here is a sneak look at the ole gal...

[AgentSmith]

Sano!!!!!! Nice work.

[Mainjet2001]

Man....does that look good. Whoa.....

Cur-Clunks Flash?

[char393]

Looks awesome, Flash!

[VAL]

Are you going to get her dirty? Sure is beautiful.

Oh and watch out for that Char, I hear she is kinda partial to them ole Hastyvarnas.

[char393]

Flash, bring her out to 3 Palms this weekend. The Rio race got moved to the river track. Should be all kinds of fun! The weather is looking to be awesome...nice and cool for a change.

[OLDMXRACER 393]

Outstanding.
