    Your bike looks like a 1984 model? I have an 1983 250WR, alloy fuel tank, black seat, all stock.
    Looks very nice, 1984 had some changes to the engine and chassis that made them stand out.
    What is your frame code?

    Regards,

    Ok I'm slowly but surely getting this Husky Ice-Cream wagon on her legs

    Just waiting on my motor to be assembled and then it will all work out nicely for the next VMX race

    You guys that restore these things must almost cry the first time you take it out and abuse it. Nice work.

    I took my '71 400 out about a week ago ..went 'plains' riding thru the bramble bush/weeds/dry river beds... rode right thru the stuff.
    Now afterwards; I noticed the scratches on the exhaust but didn't let them stop me from riding her..
    Besides, an exhaust is easy to re-do..LOL

    Ya figure just tooling around even on 'hard surfaces' (pack dirt etc)
    you will still marr the pipe or cases. Especially the cases from braking & shifting, so might as well enjoy ur-self
