With some TLC, it will come a treat.

Cool bike Dave

I say don't give it any TLC, make it a H MUZ replica and ride it flat out.

Standard trim these things make about 12 HP there slow and blow up alot.
You will need a Roney tuned barrell or specs from one.

Must be why it chills the beer so fast. ;D

Mr Ronney fixed Huskies for about 15 years. I think even in the end the factory copied his porting specs after one of his huskies hosed the factory 125's at the 6 days.
I would not bother with a Husky 125 without one of his barrells for all I know you might be able to still get him to port one for you.

Sound advice all of you guys....tho maybe a Rooney spec bike may be too much for a Vinduro . ::) .or dare I say it DA's riding ability. ;) ..certainly can make a 125 HVA go fast....one did actually win the 1979 OZ motocross championship after all...

The one I rode wasn,t as tall as my KTM and didn,t have the same spread of power.
It was more on/off/on/off power. :o
BUT it sure did handle.
Just brilliant. Would go exactly where you pointed it , every time a real joy :) :) :)

Murray Watts riding the bike.  It's an 80 model CR. 
Looks like he won a few enduros on it.
