Hello all can anyone tell me if the 1983 husky cr500 frame is the same as a 1984 wr430 . I would like to convert the 84 into a 83 500 if possible . Or if someone has a 1983 cr500 for sale I am interested in purchasing one . Thank you
no 83 frame similar 84 has sharper steering head angle and a CR and WR/XC used different rear brake and brake torque arm setups. Also the WR and XC had fender loop. if you do get an 83 500, try to find one with the 6 speed instead of 4 speed. more versatility with the 6 speed. Had an 83 CR 500 in 83...very nice bike and underrated by the mags at the time.
Not too sure where you are location wise but I have an 83 I'd let go of cheap. Needs carb and an ignition coil. Otherwise it's all there just been sitting for a long time. 83 500 Xc. Pm me if you are interested.
