Not with a full-width front hub it's not. There may be other issues when I have time for a good look.

 I think the front hub is a French Lelou hub from an earlier model 125 Husky. It looks like a Supertrapp muffler has been modified to fit the pipe. I get the impression this bike's been assembled from a bunch of different bikes and bits the seller had laying around the shed, it just doesn't look right to me.  Husky Pete will know more for sure.

   Ive seen this bike and it has 75' GP "mikkola" matching numbers ! like most US imports it has a few period mod's -like mikuni carb , profab triples, super-trapp insert, a auto husky full-width hub/brake any a dodgy yammie front guard otherwise its in good straight original nick -sweet as for a resto ;)

Thanks for your input on my query on the '75 Mikkola , although i am interested in it i have mostly been talked into either a 81,82 or 83 WR/CR for a resto and ride etc, i LOVE the old ones though 74s especially, i almost owned a wr back then when i was a kid believe it or not! A friend coming back to Aust from Cyprus had one over there, near new and sold for $200 back then, he had to leave Cyprus in a hurry at end of '75 and sold it fast! HOW do you feel about PRICE of the Mikkola at $2900?????

thanks for you help guys,
learning about old Huskies is a "learning experience"!
Kt (might have to change my name!)
