A bit out of my comfort zone here guys but where is the place to get aftermarket plastics for a 82/3 WR430?
Thanks
-
dc have some but they are dc quality, Phil at Husqvarnaparts.com has a different supplier of better but limited stock. check out his website
-
Best sort out which model you want as '82 & '83 side plates are quite different to each other. The other plastics will interchange.

I have these plastics both types DC and Premium in stock in Australia. Instead of always going overseas first please check out my website. www.prime8racing.com.au there is over 600 parts now listed. we are trying to offer you guys a alternative and keep something going in Australia but without sales it will make it hard to survive. Plus everything is costing more to import because of the dollar taking a big dive.

Thanks eveyone :)
Big K. Thanks as well. The bike is supposed to be 82 but is stamped 10/82 and I think is actually an 83 model, hence my date spread.
Mick I will check out your website and see what you have once I've confirmed the model year :)

83 is the first milk truck itc shox etc

Easy to tell Simo, if it has white side plates (squareish) & a white airbox that is accessed from under the seat, it's an '83.

It is painted white and does have white side covers (whats left of them) but I noticed the airbox (cracked as well) was black coloured .. more confused now :)

Simo email me a picture and I will tell you what you have. [email protected]
Cheers Mick

I f you can open the air box from the RHS via a door clipped to the frame, it is NOT an '83 model.

gee I wish it looked that nice. It's white, ugly, has blue shocks (I think ITC ?) a twin leading front brake, same shape tank as the one above but I think the exhaust side cover is different. Certainly does not cover the LH side of the airbox like that one
-
The one in the photo is '81/'82. Sounds like yours is an '83.

Ugly Simon? Clearly not a Husky....you may own a Yamaha ;D

Haha .. PEZ it's Simo or Craig but not short for Simon .... a few others make that mistake too :)
And yeah it's an ugly bike. Not because it's a Husky but because it's been let go in the cosmetics department .... you know, she needs a bit of a facelift hence my question about new plastics :)

the twin leader is the clue, even a recosmeticed 82 probably wouldn't have a twin leader fitted.
its an 83 milker!

Hey Simo63,
Is your 430 as ugly as my 500 was when I got it ? :o

Hey Steve.
Mate it's not my 430 to start with :)
And it's a fair bit worse than that one. I've never seen anyone weld a piece of 25mm square box to the kick starter before .. and I've never seen anyone make a side panel out of half the original plus about 4-5 kgs of fibreglass that comprised the whole top half of the side panel (exhaust side of course) .. I wish I had a picture to show you ..... it really is that ugly.

Currently working on an 83 cr500 husky and have purchased quality plastics as well as other parts from Mick at Prime 8 Racing. Great to deal with.

Sorry Simo ....my iPad changes my spelling for me. If you don't watch it carefully the damn thing will mess with your mind ;D
