    Photo by Karen Hartman Nov 26, 1972. 450 WR doing the Sprockets (Wichita Ks) 90 minute trophy dash. I'm looking for a 1972 250 WR as complete as possible or even restored. geech34@cox.net Thad CIMG1408.JPG

    Here is my 1976 175 Cross Country I picked up a few months back. I've restored and raced several Pentons but have always wanted to do a mid to late 70's Husky as a 1978 390 OR was my first good dirt bike.

    This is how I got it, mostly complete but not very pretty.

    My plan is to use for a few AHRMA cross country and ISDT Reunion Rides. I've been fitting a few new pieces and making adjustments before doing a full tear down and restore. So for I'm really liking the little 175.

    My 72 450WR! I found it in Mojave, CA. It had been sitting outside for over 25 years. It was once owned by Parnelli Jones. Did a few repairs and raced it at ARX Competitive Edge. It ran great! image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    that's his son next to him, it was good clean fun

    Yeah its a good pipe, it gives a good wide and strong powerband, build quality is great. However the bike is missing the power valve, so low down isn't great, but with the six spring clutch gear selection is slick, the bike is really easy to keep where the motor makes peak power. Wish I could say the same about my CR500!:eek:

    These pipes are good, I have one one my 500 too. Rich at DP said it is actually designed for the 430cc stroke motor, but fits straight in and it still works really well, the power on the 500cc motor is just throughout the range, really punchy response, but the heavy clutch is a nightmare really! I'm hoping to find a 87/88 430/500 trans so I can swap in the 6 spring clutch basket, but they are so rare. Then the 500 would be my first choice for evo motocross for sure!
