    1979 390 OR. Bought it in 1981 when I was 16 years old. Last ride was in 1997. Put it in the back of my shed and it sat there until about a month ago. Typical story, marriage, career, kids, etc. Went Jeeping in August up around Ouray, Colorado (rented a Jeep). Watched numerous Husky's go flying around us and got me thinking. I need to get the old Husky out of the shed and get it running again. So, have it almost completely torn down and will rebuild to get it back to mechanically sound. Not a Restore project as I want to enjoy riding it again and not worry about scratches, damage, etc. Will have lots of questions on the rebuild.

    You can't just upload pics like we used too. They have to be hosted from another site is what I gather from previous posts.

    Or you can create a link on your android syle phone and email it to yourself and copy it here or attatch it to the post from the android style phone, the latter is hard for me as the screen is so tiny. Chris

    Looks like you have the Curnutt shocks, I had mine rebuilt by the original Employee of Charles Curnutt, Scott Tremblay. If you need his contact info message me.
