Magnificent 7

I have done the same thing with re using the oilers on new cables. Also I have painted new black cable housings gray with good results. The good news for the 82.5 500 is Husky started using black cables.

Marty

That's good to know. I'm gonna look because I set the old cables in a box. I'm pretty sure they were gray.

I bought those pants back in day and I also had a pair of dark wine red leathers with blue stripe down the sides. Leathers were hot.

The ones on the right??

Ha! Funny! You been inhaling too many Castor Oil fumes.

HahahahJust jammin ya!!

Had not been here in a long time. Revisiting this post and seeing how the bikes have come together makes me so happy. Not being someone who is particularly interested in anything stock I especially love the level of detail and unique custom touches on your builds. Exquisite work!

Similar era pic. George and team. I copied a pic of George doing the peristyle jump at the LA Coliseum in those red boots but can’t find it right now.

Thanx Motojason!

Got lil worried there! Came on site yesterday and read the bad news. Breath of fresh air to see Cafe Husky back up today. Thanx to Dirtdame and Woodschick!


I've been busy as usual and had to put a lawn tractor restoration in there this spring.

500 is way behind and I have most of the parts.

So are we still here?? WTF

Yes, Thanx to WC & DD!

Nice woodschick AND dirtdame!!

FYI,

Been screwing around with my carb mods and jetting on my 83 CR 250.

She’s dialed in now and likes to rip and wheelie!

Plus no mid range to upper rpm hit! Pulls very nice on bottom with torque and rips to top end.

Going to roll same settings over to Fox CR 250. It should wake that bike up as well versus stock.

Been non stop this year and hope I can get some time later this year to finish the last 3 bikes. The 500, 430 and 125.

Sweet work there Darin. I really like the AC 80s bikes , but they are soooooo tall. I'll have to stick with the early 70s to be able to flat foot them. I'm no racer but love to ride so I gotta be able to get a foot down without jumping off the bike or planning the stop with a a rock or tree !! Chris

Thanx Chris!

Yeah, sometimes I forget how tall they are when i throw a leg over them.

When I get time......

I might do a step by step thread so you guys can get some power out of these carbs. It's all about more air and more fuel across power band.

Happy 4th!

How about 4 for the 4th!

All been ridden today. All have my carb mods and new jetting. The Maico had to go back to old needle cause it doesn’t like it. It makes it load up on bottom end. Maico has rest of mods inside.

I’m impressed how well the 3 Husky’s are performing now. The 250’s are a shade under the Maico in power. The 390 would definitely hang easy with a 430. I might put some solder on 250 pistons and send them out to get the squish dialed.

Great lineup Darin!

How are those Snail Pipes working out? Sweet rides there!!
