'82 500cr grossi clone?

How many of you guys built or are building a grossi 500cr clones? Any pics?

clone would have to be a 83 if you know any thing about the bike

I had a chance to buy one years ago but I was $100 short from making the deal. Wasn't it a 82.5 year bike?
The one in your pic is a '83, the air box, plastics, gives it away.

Your right........ not

Ha ha derp

Wow. A little 82 vs 83 attitude going on here. Lighten up. As a factory bike and rider, this bike was on the track before the production "83" models were in the showroom. It sported 82 colors and the prototype of the 83 ITC frame with, yes, the 82.5 Silver Streak engine form. Now, back to the original question. I was lucky enough to find a real 82.5 Silver Streak production bike a few years back. It's in the shop waiting for a rainy day. It will be an original 82.5, but ya, let's see some of your Grossi 500 Replicas!

Yes the silver streak is an 82.5. But Billy raced the next year and i have photos of bike in more than one color. Silver. Blue tank and
white.

I lived in SoCal during that era, and went to the Carlsbad USGP every year. We had a favorite spot by the track, and we'd try to guess which bike was coming by next by the sound of their engines. I got the Husky right every time.

The sound of the huskys is unique and embedded in my mind. You just know when it's nearby.

My nod to the Grossi bike...1983 dressed up.

Ok it's a '83 model that came out in '82.5.

Sorry for the dumb questions. Excuse my ignorance in the silver streak. It gets confusing when they offer the 40mm / 44mm carb grommets for the 82 bike airbox.

Where do you find the side panels? Or are you able to trim the 83 side panels?

I'm not sure where to find the side panels? The '83 & '84 side panels in white are available.

Hmmm. Hadn't noticed that. The "real" 82.5 Silver came with a monstrous 44mm carb, that was really too big (IMO). The subsequent 500's came with a 40 which worked well. Both were larger physical size than the common 38's. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'm thinkin' that the 40 & 44 were the same external dimension, so a "40mm" air boot is really the same as the original 44 air boot.

My SS is gonna get a 40, or maybe even a 38. I think they run much cleaner.

I really like the look of these "tribute" bikes, more of the traditional Husqvarna look. Are the side panels modified 83 side panels?

Does the stator cover have a breather hose attached to the air box?.clear/white tube.

I played with a 40mm carb on a 390cr. Installed a 40mm UFO thunder products and I changed the needle jet, the needle to leaner ones and jetted it leaner. I got it to run clean but she wasn't a bike for a beginner. The hit was more massive. I think there's no problem in getting a 44mm carb to run right on a 500cc. Don't forget the thunder products UFO. The UFO is a wedge that goes under the slide that guides the fuel directly into the reeds. Without the UFO the fuel hits that verticle wall in the bottom of the sleeve and stumbles.
This is snowmobile technology.

I've still got the stock 44 and can't complain how it runs . Never once thought to myself 'this needs a smaller carb for more bottom end /mid range '

Sidepanels I think are black 83 DC ones that are then trimmed.

Some of us in the UK are running oil to cool the electrex systems. Obviously we are fitting breathers too.
