I was thinking that if I could find an XR350 that didn't have the rod out the front of the cases already, I would replace the rod with a Carrillo or something similar and put it into a '78 CR250 frame that I have with an MR250 tank and make another Vinduro bike....at one stage I had a dozen XR350 motors, all with the rod through the front engine mount...

....OK, got a pipe, looks like the airbox is underway, maybe got a seat, so now I'm looking at the tank.....does anyone know who restores the Husky tanks, especially the " chrome" side panels and of course the paint and lettering??

Yamaha / MX400B Flywheel

A bloke I work with is rebuilding a '75 MX400B and needs a flywheel and stator, so does anyone know where to find one or would a DT400 one work?

Tech Talk / Desert gearing for old Huskies
« on: May 18, 2019, 01:26:01 pm »
I'm looking for sprocket sizes ( No. of teeth ) that the American desert racers used in the '70s for their old 400/450 WR's.
As I intend using my '75 WR400 on the road, I'd like to gear it up a bit. Some years back I rode a 360 Montesa, ex- US desert racer, belonging to Ron Merrick......it took some winding out but that thing would do 130 MPH....and very scary

....as I put in the wanteds........looking for a sidestand, to buy or even borrow so I can copy it.
That is the air box I'm looking for, and it is a Honda front wheel. I'm not worried about the Honda wheel at this point as it gives me a speedo. I'm basically restoring the bike to get it rego'd here in Tassie. Preston Petty lights front and rear, speedo and trials tyres.
I just want to ride it around instead of having it sit in the shed.
