1978 Husky 250 OR Restoration

I picked this up for $250 in Sept of this year. It was complete except for the Mikuni. I had a spare '78 250 OR engine that I put in it since the original had broken teeth and case. I'm waiting for the shocks to be done and then I'm finished. I'll fix the original motor and find a rolling chassis.

I raced a 78 250OR back in the day. As I recall that was my all time favorite bike. I hope my memory hasn't failed me, because I'm in the process of building one now. It's a 77 250CR but basically the same bike.
Yours looks awesome!!

Ron, It looks like your bike has everything you need to make a beautiful restoration. Just take your time and keep your eyes on the prize at the end. And that prize is to have people like you compliment your work.
I was able to replace the broken gears from another transmission and I bought a complete case to replace the broken one for about $70. Main bearings (skf 3205) are pretty expensive because they are double row bearings. Also, I use Viton seals (main, mag, and countershaft) which are also pricy, but they hold up to extreme heat. Keep us posted on the progress.

God Bless.
