    I like the electrical tape on the kick starter , instead of standard rubber grommet..

    I did have that same swingarm, though, never saw another one til now..

    A little added tweaking, turn the rear tire around, add the correct rubber on the kicker. But it's a museum piece. A 420 cylinder bored to 430. How do they do that? With a 71mm stroke. Something doesn't jive maybe a 430 cylinder cut to 71mm stroke. It's the right 80's case.

    Also.. have a look at the other bikes he has for sale. 1973 400...frame and triples have been painted whilst assembled.. the steering head nut is silver.. you can see the black underneath.. and the triple clamp pinch bolts have been painted also.. not certain I would be buying a bike from these guys.. who knows what you would find inside..:excuseme:

    A 420 cylinder bored to 430. How do they do that? With a 71mm stroke. Something doesn't jive maybe a 430 cylinder cut to 71mm stroke. It's the right 80's case.

    The 1980 390 is it's own animal, & has a one year only cylinder, and it's own cases, because the 1979 works bikes (Chuck Sun's etc) were already 430 s. Husky per usual , made the next model (80) close to that factory racer as they could. Also look at the factory Works bike ,they already had 40mm forks, racing improves the breed & back then Husky, push what we learned on the track down to the production bike faster then most.

    And in case your wondering a 81-83 430 cylinder will fit right on a (1980 only) 390...

    This shop has been noted to totally get their bikes confused. Like the time they were selling a 430cr fully restored , engine all rebuilt,

    Only problem was it was a 500CR and different year !!

    I called them out by email , I had too. I done it more than once.
