Just some pics of new but Delayed build of Cr 430

I did a xc seat cover (yellow) with black forks and swingarm and did the shocks in a gold similar too the 82 shox color on my 85 wr twin shocker...its looks poooh

Agreed! I think the rims tie it all together nicely. Great job Gary!

Can anyone confirm that rims were painted and not anodized through 1981? If so, does anyone have a paint code for the gold? Thanks.

Yes that is true for the most part but there are exceptions. For example all the 81 and 82 420AE's I have found still used the painted Nordisk rims.

the poor AE were stepchildren and treated as such

No true paint code per say. Never 100% been able to exactly match it. And even in painted years
you will find that Husky themselves did not match. In anodized years its the same thing may not always match

Of course, aging is a factor too.

At www.husqvarnaman.com they offer the yellow seat covers.
