    As I recall mitch offered it in 81-81 as some thing from some Swedish source and remember reading an article in a bike mag that described the front numberplate setup looking like a "Big Mac that someone whacked with a waffle iron"! Creative writing like that sticks in ones mind almost 30 years later. Sounds like a Super Hunly statement if you ask me. George may be able to elaborate on that. I think it was a sidebar to the 1981 or 1982 Dirtbike 125 shootout.

    I talked to Lars-Erik (L-E J) yesterday, and he still got a few parts for that 125 bike.
    It's not much he got in his shed, but it's always something.

    I know that he is missing the clutch cover and some other bits and pieces.
    But he got cylinders, heads and stuff for the water pump.
    I will call him next week if it's ok with you, I'm quite busy today and it takes a while with him in the phone ;)
    I'm leaving for Poland tomorrow and will be back Monday evening (late).

    Are there any specific parts you look for?

    I have a cylinder but not in good shape.
    Cylinder and head is interesting for me.
    Clutch cover would have been very nice, but...
    Ask him if the pistons are the same than on 82/83/84 motors, and if the liner is the same than these of 83/84.
    Thanks

    I stopped by Lars-Erik yesterday, we talked a lot about the water cooled kits he made.
    It was only 40 complete kits he produced and delivered to Husqvarna 1983.
    Everything else produced was for his own testing.

    He still has the very first water cooled cylinder he made back in -77.
    It used self circulation without water pump and worked well as long as he was driving fast.
    When driving slowly for a longer while would it overheat the water.

    I'll bring the camera next time
