Does anyone have this 1981 430cr poster - its not for the girl !

Does anyone have or own this poster. Yes I like the girl. But I want to look at the large
full color photo of that 1981 430cr.

I been after the real look of those tanks, especially the side panel. we now know these tanks with made in Germany. They went down production line, and the one station have a large belt sander
polishing that ran vertical. This left a slightly brushed look to this panel, not polished.

My repainted tanks, I am trying to make these look like they came in the showroom. Today all my results for the brushed look is coming out with , well showing more lines. I do not want polished this is not want came on the bike. Huskydogg was going to share this will me bur he changed his life overnight never did catch him before he sold everything. I want to make a professional graphic company copy you don't have to sell it Yes i had two original tanks but they were /had 30 years of age on them .

look at those muscles , she has been trying to start that all morning

May just be me but something is way outta proportion in that pic.

that's Inga, that's how she is...one on every corner over there...

Godbless 1981 nice six pack. I have a fourty pack.

She's tiny

Btw, that's not a girl that's a babe.

Ok I did expect that to happen. Keep your eyes on the subject. Lol

Swedish girls are tall.

The subject the babe?

She's gotta be pretty brave to ride barefoot!

google search for, 1981 Husqvarna 430cr picture

Lots of pictures.




Pictures like this sold Husqvarna bikes. Lol

Ridings fine but kicking that over without a boot on is asking for broken ankle, babe or not husky kickback is not discerning.

Goto admire your attention to detail Gary, very muscular physique wonder if she was a female mx rider.

I guess you guys don't file sharp the triangle spikes on the foot pegs? I do and bare footed I wouldn't ride it.

Let me give all of you some insight on that poster. Back in 1981 I was selling commercial printing for a printing company in San Diego, CA. I sold and helped produce that poster and another one with the same girl wearing an evening gown standing in front of a car, an airplane and the 430CR to Husqvarna's western US headquarters also located in San Diego. The girl has that ripped body because she was a champion water skier and was also the girlfriend of the photographer that shot the photos. Guess he didn't have to go very far to get a model.

If I recall the plan was to distribute a copy of each poster to every Husqvarna dealer in the US. Both of the posters were issued a part number and I believe any left over posters could be ordered from Husky Products and sold. I do know there was never a reorder so no additional posters were ever printed. The printing company I worked for has been bought and sold 3 times since then and there are no files archived of jobs produced that long ago.

I have to wonder how many of those posters were actually displayed in the dealerships and how many somehow found their way to the garage walls and man caves of the shop owner or employees. Hmmmm.....

It's nice to find out I'm not the only one out there that does that. The only downfall is that if your messing around without your boots on, they're very quick to rip your skin open. It sure makes your boots not slip when it's wet.

Gary, I have that poster. Huskydogg sent me one a few years ago.

I had it, too, when they were original. I lived down there, and remember where Husky was in San Diego. Went there and met Scot Harden. Great guy. My 81 430 CR had very light brush marks in the chrome. I thought it was cool. My 82 430 XC was more polished.

My 81 430 CR also had painted rims, whereas the 82 were anodized and a little brighter gold. I preferred the look of the 82, but we're splitting hairs (because we're vintage Husky fans!!).
