    Hi all, some pix of my nearly finished 175XC, too bad I failed to take pix as I went. Just need a few odds and ends to get it complete. Hoping to see some AHRMA action at Barber later this year

    Yes it was a 125, but Husky in US had a 175 kit (piston, head, cylinder & pipe) that was put on when bike was new. I still have the 125 top end, never used. The original owner was a riding buddy. The '83 was a full factory model...

    How did you refinish you engine jug and head? Is it painted or did you polish it? I have an 82 250 XC I'm working on.

    Unfinished cyl and head was the trade mark of the 125 line for Husky BITD.
    @streetdirt....do you have /use the thin spacer plate that is between the cases /gasket and the cylinder? if so, how thick is it?

    Hey Joe, the spacer I have is about 5 cm. Matt, like Joe said, this jug and head along with the original one are unfinished. And I also remember my '79WR & '81CR were both unfinished...

    I know that they were unfinished, I'm curious as to what methodology you used to get it looking good again? Did you media blast it? Wire brush and polish it? etc...?

    Hi street2dirt,
    You said that you converted a 125 to a 175 with a kit, do you still have the 125 top end parts.
    If you still have the top end what do you intend to do with it, I'm looking for 125 parts.
    Cheers 2T_vs_4.

    Hi 2t_vs_4t, I still have the top end parts, they were removed b4 the bike was even started. Never really thought much about selling the stuff in case I messed up the 175 jug I would have spares............

    That's ok, just thought I would ask the question.
