    So i got a (Possibly) 1983 cr500, but the case has 2087 stamping, so i think its a 430, and the frame says WO117, i cant make out the rest but there are three more numbers, and the case says 2087, and the stickers have worn off, and the front forks are black, instead of the normal white, and the shocks are blue and white, but it has a CR rear fender and a plastic tank, please help me identify it if you can, thank you in advance.

    Apoligies for not responding, I have been drowning in school work, it is not a 500, just recently checked the case numbers and it is a 430, case number being 2087, and the frame is a wr, not able to send pictures as of now, but this coming week i will be able. also it has 9 fins

    Were not to far away from each other. I am located in the north eastern part of Oregon. I mis-spoke above when I said 84 430WR. Actually I am thinking it is an 83 430WR with 84 plastics as in 84 Husky made the 500WR. Or it is an 84 250WR or 500WR that some one put the 430 motor and pipe into. What is the frame serial number? That will tell us for sure. I found a few 83 Huskys out of the Nampa/Boise area that had the 84 tank, plastics and seat added to them to update them. I think there was a dealer down in that area that was doing that back when the bikes were new.

    Looking at your frame number WO 117xx it is a 1984. If the frame number was WO 0117x then it would have been an 83. So I think it started out as either a 84 250WR or 84 500WR and someone put the 430 motor into it.
