    Plenty from the magazine's of the day . Go with that .
    There's not really much left for debate . 4 speed . 44 mm carb . Everything else was on par with husky of 82 .
    Lots of people restore the tank and the silver is the wrong colour .
    There's been plenty of pictures of riders bikes and ones for sale etc that are still original
    Your right that most of the hole results are non original restorations that look dumb . New gold rims etc
    I'll sell you a original 17 rear rim from my silver streak if u want . And the spokes ha ha .
