The first of the TE & TX 510  ( & TC500 ) fourstokes came out in '83 . They had a white frame & a white plastic tank that was a similar shape to the '83 aluminium tanks on all the two stroke models .

Looks pretty original and even has the ITC Ohlins still fitted. Not sure about the dodgy looking heat shield attatched to the cylinder above the header pipes..imagine getting cut open by that if you fell off.

I owned an '84 model 510 and had nothng but problems with the ignition. Even after replacing the stator with a brand new one the bike used to just stop when it got hot.

The Fella who I bought it off made the extentions on the cooling fins to try & keep the old girl cool, the angle iron on the sides of the frame? well I didn't ask about those but when you sit on the bike they seem to be put there to protect youre legs from the home made exhaust.

This is just an indication of the prices that parts for these air-cooled fourstroke Huskys are going for , even with the tough World economic conditions at the moment : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370139702495&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=

I have a pair of headers and mid pipe for one of these, if anyone needs them.
