    greetings from the US!
    You did a super job on your restoration. So much so that I also aquired a 1976 WR360 CC that I could only hope to get to half that level! Having said that...
    I'm finding it very hard to find simple little "dink" parts such as chain rollers and little things to get it back to it's former glory.
    Would it be possible to "pick your brain" somewhat regarding where to get parts and maybe carb set-up suggestions for a Gurtner etc.? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated as so far I'm running into big fat zeros on a lot of things.
    I look at your bike pictures daily as an inspiration to keep on keeping on!
    Till next time!

    Dido on the great restoration, I am in the beginning of a resto on my 76 wr360 and would like to know who did your tank, or did you do it? And what formula did you use for the paint. It looks great.

    Hi
    Sorry have not been on this site for awhile, parts like the rollers for the chain guide i machined up myself out of some black hard wearing urethane. A lot of the parts i got from Husky parts, Vintage Husky and from a guy in Australia who has now gone out of business, I also had a fair few parts that I had from 1976 when was sponsored by Husqvarna as spares for my bike
