Yeah, it gets even stranger. Someone must've owned a bike wreckers! He was good enough to get back to me with some no.s

>Hi fatboycrash
>See if this helps, The ADR plate (Which I have never looked before says) Husqvarna 430AE WP O8099 9/85.
>But the motor is stamped 2063 0208
>The old Rego label shows the Eng No as 20710117 & SN 3936572
>Might just be a bits of two bikes a 430AE with a 500 engine, your help with this would be great.

Checking the no.s it appears he has a 1986 500xc motor in a 1986 430AE frame with a jappa front end and rear disc. Wow! Nothing wrong with the 500xc motor, I'm guessing it prob. just had a different gearbox. It'd make a lovely bike restored back to original as a 1986 500xc. I really like the look of the models of this year.
