    Thanks guys. Its is pretty unmolested. I am not new to Swedish Huskys. I have had a few. My last one was a 82WR250. That I really regret letting go. The bike has grab handles. That I think are Husky products items? I am very excited to get it. I have been looking around at parts. Does anyone know of a good source for side panel decals and tank decals?

    yeah the steel bolt on rear handles are supposed to be a fairly rare husky products piece

    EVO MX for sure.....most others has the yellow wrong....to light.
    The grab handles were a Malcom Smith made product but Husky Products sold them too.

    I've bought both JC, no comparison.
    The Evo-MX decals are not only consistently the same colour but are also a thicker, higher quality decal.
    I put the others on my 250, three different yellows and very thin, average quality at best.
    I think the Evo ones were cheaper too!
    I'll find a pic of the three different yellows.

    My barn fresh 84/250wr has the orginal grab handles. I think the grab handles were $85 when I looked them up.
