Thanks, that's helpful -- it was a bit confusing -- don't know much about huskies (or perhaps I should say don't know much about pre-75 generally because I only owned and raced one late 60s Bultaco and that was before I "went on to other things"
)
I'm considering the CR 400 that the West Australian fellow has got advertised -- I know it's a steep price but it looks like well done and I have certainly spent more than that on projects that have not turned out as nicely as that looks.
But I have some concerns about whether the bike will be eligible for pre-75 here in Victoria because I see that the Classic Scramble Club for example say that the exhaust system should generally follow the line of the original and of course the CR 400 that I'm looking at has got one of those "up to date" pattern exhaust systems that "gets big and fat" pretty quickly.
So, do you (or anybody) know whether or not that exhaust would make that bike ineligible for pre-75 generally. (You can see that I'm pretty new to this because I don't even know the basic things about eligibility)
Also the seller tells me that the bike was set up in the States by somebody who took a lot of care to get it right -- that is good news -- but he goes on to say that there has been an updated reed valve installed which by my recollection usually means that the piston / intake port timing has been changed which usually all gets matched in with the pipe so that if I was to change back to standard pattern pipe (to meet the eligibility requirements) would I be left with a way out of tune engine?
Any comments would be much appreciated.
