Looks like a Husky to me, check out the pressed steel triple clamps. It may have a Yamaha front brake or maybe he turned the hub around for better cable routing. On closer inspection, I don't think they're Husky forks....maybe Betors or Cerianis which would mean the front wheel is most probably off the same bike the forks came with.

I was going on the chrome tank Firko but I bow to your greater knowledge.      (http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx172/mike52_photo/Many%20jiff/notworthy1.gif)

And the fact that you looked at the fork clamps and I didn,t.
Gotta learn not to rush. ;D

That "Guy in Amerika" is actually me in Canada. Bit of a surprise to find my photo posted here.
I was having trouble finding parts for a Husky rebuild until I found a retired dealer with a hoard of bikes and parts. He couldn't be bothered to look for parts, but eventually relented and said "Take it all or none!" I took it all. Forty Husqvarnas and a good stash of new parts.

If your lucky you should get one complete runner out of it all.

And..the second bike in with the chrome tank... is def a HVA...original silver forks..and the front brake is on the correct side as shipped from the factory... many of us swapped the front brake over to the other leg ...get a better "line" for the front brake cable that way ... :)

Highly recommend Steve (Huskydoggg). Can not recommend Canada Post though - been on strike for ages and slowest mail system I have come across yet. Stuff gets through eventually though.

Also the most expensive mail system on the planet .... I buy some Ducati stuff out of there and price of freight can be horrifying.

I agree on both counts, paid $99 for piston kit and $41 for postage and thats surface mail! Its been seven weeks already and will probably be another seven!

Same here, thought I'd struck the Jacques-pot when I found a gearbox cluster and selectors there on ebay for $11.50 and $9.50.  ;D

Freight $91.00  ::)

Delivery time : Four months... :o  :'(

Sorry, I can't do anything about Canada Post. However, I can provide my very best service and very reasonable parts prices. Hopefully that offsets some of the shipping costs and delays.
I sell parts all around the world and I must say the Australians are the absolute best. You guys love your Huskys and know how to have fun. Cheers.

 Does anybody know if the Canada Post service into the U.S. is any better or cheaper ?      Huskydoggg would have customers in the ' States and maybe one of them could be set up as an onforwarding ' agent ' for stuff coming to Oz.
