Very nice Mike - good looking bikes. You can run them in pre 90 at QVMX.  I am keen on a resto on a single shock Husky in the near future myself  :D. Interested in what the new fangled technology did for dirt bikes back in the day ;D ;D - disc brakes....woo hoo

If you like disc brakes Pez there was a 1985 Tc 510 rolling frame went through ebay/au about 2 weeks ago with a 2 spot floating caliper setup on it.
Very interesting as it used the same fork legs and disc as the 86. :)
I cannot find it in my parts books but will continue to search.

I was told it was a 1988 front end on that bike. The hot set up apparently.

I,ve got a 98 brake setup but it won,t fit the forklegs.
When you start the single shock bike Pez check this local site out.
The plastic inner splash guard is hard to get as per original.
