Hope it helps out someone, it’s a really close match.

Nice job!!

I don't know what that era/model is supposed to look like, but that is one seriously beautiful color and tank.

Thanks. Original chrome too, although I did ask my painter to leave a couple of the “memories” in the side. They aren’t bad though.

I think thats a good looking color but possibly not original. Here are two pics of the Sportsman color. First is an original unrestored bike with faded paint. The second pic is what most are using. I believe the original color was the same as the Cross. I did a Cross earlier this year (3rd pic) and used Pepsi Cola Red 1, formula is at the bottom. Note that the fifth tint was omitted.

Heres the color from the Husky News Letter #2 1997. Not sure if the formula is still available.

Pics from my visit to the Huskvarna Museum in Sweden. The bike you see has 5 original miles. Very few at the tail end of the 4 speed era had burgundy tanks. My bike tagged Nov ‘71

Mine is Si2587, approximately 150 bikes later than one you see in pics.



Me on the tank 9 months old, summer 1977. By this time my uncle (original owner) had taken the headlight and taillight off, and had pulled the steel fenders in favor of lighter aftermarket plastic. I remember the plastic tool holder/number plate mounted where headlight should be. No idea of its origins but wouldn’t mind having another.

Possibly a Preston Petty product - on eBay every so often:

I see now. I've got to open my eye balls all the way when I read stuff. I admit I'm not familiar with the 71 Enduro, Sportsman goes off in my head when I see 71 360c.

Your bike will not only be beautiful but somewhat rare being a one year run.

No worries, took me a couple years to pin down exactly what it was. Mere chance I came across pic of bike in museum. Rare enough mine and that one are only two I know of that are complete, usually I only find them in pieces.

That looks exactly like the toolbox only was white. Nice!
