Sorry about harping on , but I just can't let it go.
Hey thats OK reverse engineering sucks but as this Bike was canned at last years nats after it finished second in stock trim I made sure this year it is well within the rules. I should have got off my arse and tried and change the rules so there is no limits on suspension for pre 78.
Current bikes. KTM MC 250 77 Husky CR 360 77, Husky 82 420 Auto Bitsa XR 200 project. Dont need a pickle just need to ride my motorcickle

I reckon I need that front brake cable too, my brake is shite and way too spongy..

If you want give me your front brake stay after the Nats and I will weld on the bits you need.
Ok, I'll check yours out and compare

Not that it makes a great deal of difference.. in 1977...the front engine mounts were double bolts...HVA changed the mounting after breaking cases with the stretchy / flexy frames in 1975/76 with the 360's...see you guys on Friday..I'll let you guys have a spin on my 390 Auto which is on it's way as we speak...

Here is a picture of my '79 390 Auto pipe, which looks like the pipe on John's bike. The reason that I thought that John's might be a WR/Auto pipe is because of the heatshield welded to the pipe. I am not sure if the CR models had this. I think that the '78 CR390 pipe came with the muffler welded to the stinger. I don't know if would be allowed with follow on rules, but a '78 CR390 frame is exactly the same as a '77 CR390 frame, as far as I am aware, other than the '78 frame uses tapered roller steering head bearings ('77 frame uses plain ball bearings) and a frame number upwards of ML22000 .
