If you split the cases, make sure you match up the transfer ports for  smooth engine performance.

I thought...
WR's had black seats
CR's had Blue seats, and
XC's had Yellow seats

But of course only in 1983.

Steve, will you have her ready for Canowindra?

  Interesting point Wayne   , re:  the  '83 Husky seat cover colours
  I was looking through an old ADB mag  (Jan '83) with articles on '82 Czech ISDE  & noticed blue , black &  yellow seat covers on the white   (WR? )  Huskys pictured at the event  ??? 
    Most of the  '83 (XC) models  (from what I have seen   old brochures ,pics , etc  ) have the Yellow cover.
   
   My 500  won't be ready for Canowindra  so I will be on the IT490 for that one.

  Regards ,
                  Steve

Yellow is the correct colour

Sensational looking bike , cant wait to have a burn on it. 8)
Autos are the way forward , see you round like a robot
Take the short cut, go Cross Country
The shortest distance between two points is Cross Country
