Captured in their native habitat - snow.  Ahh the beauty of a flock of Huskys ;D ;D Obviously loving tended by the gamekeeper ;) ::)

Looks like a Husky to me, check out the pressed steel triple clamps. It may have a Yamaha front brake or maybe he turned the hub around for better cable routing. On closer inspection, I don't think they're Husky forks....maybe Betors or Cerianis which would mean the front wheel is most probably off the same bike the forks came with.

I was going on the chrome tank Firko but I bow to your greater knowledge.     

And the fact that you looked at the fork clamps and I didn,t.
Gotta learn not to rush. ;D

That "Guy in Amerika" is actually me in Canada. Bit of a surprise to find my photo posted here.
I was having trouble finding parts for a Husky rebuild until I found a retired dealer with a hoard of bikes and parts. He couldn't be bothered to look for parts, but eventually relented and said "Take it all or none!" I took it all. Forty Husqvarnas and a good stash of new parts.

And..the second bike in with the chrome tank... is def a HVA...original silver forks..and the front brake is on the correct side as shipped from the factory... many of us swapped the front brake over to the other leg ...get a better "line" for the front brake cable that way ... :)

Highly recommend Steve (Huskydoggg). Can not recommend Canada Post though - been on strike for ages and slowest mail system I have come across yet. Stuff gets through eventually though.
