Looking for the complete wiring loops , lights and fittings for both headlight and brake light.   Looking to get a B class licence for the bike over here in the west

What rear mudguard have you got ?
At present I use the original motocross one. My 78 390WR has a TY replica light and rubber plate holder, the 390 Auto has a Bresica rubber flap with original 79 WR large round tail light. Good luck with finding a 79/80 headlight ! Fairly rare. Make sure if you do buy one it has the headlamp bulb holder. The Auteroche holders were unique to Husky. A TY lamp works well or a Preston Petty unit.

If you want pictures, I will try and dig some out.
Thumpers Rule !

DC make later model headlight shrouds that are useable, phil at husky parts has glass units, Honda shops carry the bulbs for those 83+ shrouds, biiig bulbs. I just wacked a mx guard thingy on the back and stuck a ty light on the top of it.

café husky tech tips have wiring diagrams

also try HVA factory website

all sorts of stuff
