First single shock 430 is now on its way to its new home

Looks goods Maybe I ride it a while, before I tear it all done and rebuild it LOL

Sweet!

Wish my old one I sold years ago in Mo/Ks area would pop up.

I'd prob buy it back.....

Now that is a pretty looking gal you have there mate.

nice cr...so this bike is on its way to you?

Yes on the way! first water-cooled husky too. Looking at another 500 too from a member on this site.

Not sure I need it but we all know about it. One ( maybe I mean 4 ) huskies is not enough

i always liked the cr tank/shroud combo on these bikes. be aware the shrouds are unique to that tank...as opposed to the xc/wr tank. its shorter and a little narrower. if i have an all day ride i swap the xc tank on but i almost always run the cr setup. take care of those!

you have other 430s, so im sure you are familiar with how far you have to deviate from book spec to get them to run their best.
of course its a matter of taste, but since this is your first ss swede, you might really like the way they handle. i found once the rear spring is set for your weight, the rest of the bike really comes together and they are a great chassis. almost all of the stability the earlier bikes have but a better handler in my opinion. im 6'2, so i really like the seat on these things!

Congrats

1 more sweet bike,leads to another.....

good looking bike
where did you find this CR430?

Just had to add a single shock to the herd. The pic said buy me !

Never had a single shock or water cooled Husky, price was right

i think you are going to like it.

Looking forward to see the progress with this bike.

So does the same seat fit both tanks fine ?

Yes

The 87 430 engine has a lighter con rod to minimize the vibrations that were so prevalent on the earlier 400 engines.

I love mine! Been a great bike had it since the early 90s. Have another one I'm going to redo.

I love your CR as well Photoguy. Neither my 87 or 88 vibrate too bad. They are by no means "electric like" or like either 250 jap bikes we have. They have very powerful mid range power. The jap bikes aren't as forgiving on a limited rider like myself......the 430 is just easy to go fast on comfortably.

Thanks Oldbikedude! You have a really nice 430 also.

Trust me collecting huskys is worse than potato chips. I had 25 bikes with 15 running. At 14 bikes the misses said no more in a short time I was up to 25 plus tons of parts. I don’t have to feed them everyday nor clean up after them lol. I’d rebuild the engine go thru the rest of the bike, run them then park them and go to the next. The cr390 was my main ride.
