    Thanx guys!

    I modified a Honda Cr 250 chain tensioner that I can weld on towards front and I just got a Maico rear chain guide I can modify to fit in the rear before sprocket. The Cr tensioner had a so so spring on it but the stock husky spring went right on for more tension. Gonna look trick

    So just a fraction of time in. Got swingarm all welded up. That includes a chain guide mount, rear chain adjuster tabs and also one for the chain tensioner underneath. That swingarm been off and on this bike 50 million times to check alignment, tack weld, etc.....

    Waiting for material for brake stay arm and brake rod to fab up.

    Also, waiting on recessed Allen bolts for rear sprocket.

    If got time I think I can polish everything up to look like chrome and get a swingarm decal on.

    Lots work! Bike gonna be one of kind badass!

    Thanx guys!

    I might have a red Husky tensioner roller but might see if DC can make me an orange one.

    Got some black Delrin coming to make a chain buffer pad.

    Thinking about sending the frame out to get powder coated in white. Silver is toast due to making fox air shock mounts and welding them on.

    Rear is coming in at 18 rear and can drop front forks down.

    Actually I kinda like the red on there but I’ll have to make a new arm from 8mm to 6mm bolt size.

    Here will be the back brake stay. Need to do some welding on back side for flange and front bushing.

    Just about ready to polish everything up and get some new bearings for front. I made special bushings up front to accept the original bearings. It had Delrin ones in it.

    Think I’ll machine up a nice new aluminum back brake lever to go with the drilled aluminum look.

    Think I’ll reproduce this back brake lever but instead slots, go drilled holes and set up to use a modern black tip.

    It’s sitting high on this bike because it needs adjusted.

    Replaceable pedal tips are the way to go.

    Darin ! Bravo on the brake lever , perfect all Huskies could use this longer lever ! May want a pattern as was thinking of making a whole batch. Oh humm like the updated rear chain guide - so sick of the rollers wearing out in stock ones. Have someone who s ready and waiting to make some and can make them on his Haas cnc That lever looks like a late new piece ?

    Gary, lever was patterned off the 83 CR 250 lever, just lil longer. Then welded on a tab for replaceable modern tip, off 2014/15 Husky, like TC 250. Then I machined pivot part to accept two bearings, pressed in for the 8mm bolt, to pivot.

    On back side is a welded on tab for a threaded for 6mm bolt to hit swing arm but as height adjuster.

    The lever part I might have a template somewhere I can get you and bearing size?

    Thanx guys!
