Post by: 2T_vs_4T on August 24, 2011, 09:07:44 pm

I have a 1982 Husky 125 WR, in the process of restoring / rebuilding, how many other 125 air cooled twin shocks are out there in Oz.
Cheers 2T_vs_4T.
Ps. post a photo and tell us what mods if any you have done to your Husky.

My son and I are racing a 1981 CR 125. The bike was nut and bolt original before we did a complete rebuilt. I has a Paul Rooney Barrel that was ported  and signed by him in 1982. Vastly different from the standard one. It is still running the original little bing carb as per Mr Rooneys advice from last year. The bike is not slow compared the the Japanese units from the same period. Running well in the Heaven rounds (494) and is 100% reliable. Rear Ohlins were rebuild by Sean O'Sullivan from SOS at Penrith. Fantastic job. Would recommend these bikes to taller riders.

All the best Pete and Carl
