    Do you race your old Husky and if so, with which organizations?

    I raced my 78 250CR in one AHRMA Cross-Country event and will race it next weekend at an AVDRA Motocross. I will probably run it in a few AMA District 36 Cross-country events this Fall.

    Yes. We have a Midwest VMX series. Covers three states. I have a 78 250CR also and a 74 360CR I race.

    Nice looking '78 2whlr! What fork springs are you running in your '78 250CR? I put in some .44kg springs in mine, but they might be a bit soft (I'm 200lbs).

    Don't know. I'm running the springs that came with the bike. I have no idea, if they are original. I'm 185lbs, Expert level (for VMX) rider and they work for me. But I feel like I'm on the edge of needing stiffer springs, if I weighed more.

    I know it has 20wt oil in the forks, but don't know the exact level.

    My old Husky has been on the track with Supermoto USA and will probably get run on flattracks and maybe even road raced once I get the magneto sorted out.
