    Hi all, new member here from Oz.
    Currently have a 1983 WR430 and recently acquired a 1985 WR125 of an 80 yr old farmer - not too many of these around here in oz. He was planning of taking it to the tip so hopefully I can save it.

    While the bike is mostly complete it has a damaged clutch cover and missing the ITC rear shocks .I have been scanning ebay world wide, email know vintage Husky parts suppliers eg HVA to find a clutch cover or a pair of shocks without success.

    Therefore - would anyone know of a set of ITC's and/or a 125 clutch cover ( I think 84-86 are the same) available for sale? Happy to pay top dollar.

    As you said, Keep you eye on Ebay, the ITC shocks come up from time to time, not cheap & most are junk. But that's what you get when working on a old bike, parts prices have jumped as the bikes get older.

    Not a 125 guy so don't know about the side cover, but i think it's common with 250/400/500, pricey as well & lot of junk out there.

    It must have been one of the very last 84's as it's plated 1985.

    Richard,
    Bike was probably an unsold 84, they re plated as an 85.
    I had a 83 with 84 plastic, that was a discounted unsold from year before.
    Husky Dealers did that all the time & the factory used what ever parts they
    had to build bikes, even from the past year.
