    Anybody have any of the 390 airbox decals?

    I need two....

    Doesn’t look like John LeFevre has anymore in stock.

    Thanx Mr Brown and Dfa!

    I really enjoy your builds and that motivates me to keep going.

    Ive been watching all of them for a long time. Everyone on here is very good at what you do and knowledgeable. Most of you guys are walking Husky libraries



    Dfa, I had good laugh on your cat. We have one inside (Gringo) and one outside (Kit Kit). They are funny in their own ways.

    Does anyone have a set of rebuildable 17.25 piggy or remote reservoir ohlins?

    Ignore! I grabbed a set of rebuildable Fox Air Shox.

    Gonna put them on Maico and transfer my ohlins over.

    Thanx Mr Brown! Too bad we all didn’t all live in close proximate. I’d shoot that tank for you.

    Easter bunny usually leaves me an Easter basket. So, got up this am, to race around trying to find it. I’m all excited! My thoughts are: a basket full of Husky stuff!

    Well, this is what I got!

    Figured I’d help out the economy. Got a set of Fox Shox coming. Might do them in some scheme of red and polished?

    Gonna put these on Maico and move those ohlins over to Silver Streak.

    I’m doing 2 engines for couple guys and one engine for real good friend of mine. He needed a set of shocks for his.

    Was working on his triples and fork bottoms today. I did triples in Gun Coat baked on.

    Kinda like ones on Fox Husky????

    I’d like to pull off polishing the whole aluminum body on the Fox shock?

    Then maybe throw a set of these decals on the side bottom of shock body?

    I agree. They were and still are bad looking. I remember when they first showed up at the motocross tracks. My neighbor had a set on his Husky with Ceri forks. My friend is giving me his original Fox Guage. He had a set on His RM 370 before he realized that he needed to be on a Husky.

    Those years, were a special time in history that will never repeat itself.

    I'm hoping to get a chance to ride again soon. My Husky TCXi 250 stuck a valve and needs some love so it's the old warhorse KTM for a while. I love the latest pics!

    Thanx EC! Well at least it buys you some time before things open back up. Shucks on the valve situation. Hope it didn’t tear too much up.

    New bladders for my Fox Shox going to rebuild and stick on Maico.

    Wish I could get a new bladder that gets rid of old age setting in!
