Husky XC500

[80-85 husky]

looking sensational, what a great job. those tin tank milk trucks look the goods. hopefully it will give you a rush as good as the yammie

Good work Steve .
You ripped through that resto!!
I think you really need a CR500 for your next project (Mrs permitting of course)

That looks like a bike in need of a mud puddle......

 

  Bit of mud on the tyres now , out on a test run today. 
  Plenty of power / torque  but  smooth delivery for  a big 500 .

 Bike ran clean  on the jetting I had decided on :
 400 main (down from 440 that was found  fitted )
  50 pilot
  #2.5 slide
  7DH3 needle  set at second clip from top (was set  on top clip  by prev owner )
 
 Decomp valve is money well spent , makes starting  so much easier .

Looks great. I run a 60 pilot on my 500. Heaps of fuel makes them easier to start - particularly when hot. Enjoy your ten fins of fury..... or is that only the 82.5 model

Nice effort, they almost look too good to go and get dirty at this point.

I said almost!

Definitely looks the goods!

How have you found the bit stand?

Which one is it? Ebay find?

Nice resto work on my second favourite model Husky. They're a great bike....very underrated in my opinion.
