    Hello!
    Iam a proud new owner of a 1983 air cooled TC, and what I have also with the bike is basket case bike what I think is a ’83 as well. As I understand now is that some parts are really hard to get. At the moment I am trying to figure what model years rocker covers are suitable for 510 TC ’83. If you can help me I would appreciate greatly.

    Looks like there the same p/n, at least from 83 thru 85, 1986 should be as well as it's still air cooled.


    Here’s a thread I started a few years back on my 1986 Husky 510 4-stroke project bike, should be something in there that could help, as mine was a heap too.

    The 2nd part of the project was when I put the motor into a dual shock frame, I created another thread

    1986 510 4stroke twin shock project phase #2

    Thank very much ruwfo for your reply. Those threads will be handy for sure. I was also fortunate to get some answers from JEK Motocraft, and I already ordered a cover from ’96 model. It seems that it will fit just fine, but would need some trimming for the perfect looks. Now if there is anyone who could share manual of those Öhlins itc rearshocks that would be appreciatedas well - or actually any further information of these machines is welcome.
