Looks quite unmolested, hard to find them that good after 34 years!

Thanks guys. Its is pretty unmolested. I am not new to Swedish Huskys. I have had a few. My last one was a 82WR250. That I really regret letting go. The bike has grab handles. That I think are Husky products items? I am very excited to get it. I have been looking around at parts. Does anyone know of a good source for side panel decals and tank decals?

yeah the steel bolt on rear handles are supposed to be a fairly rare husky products piece

I prefer evo-mx decals, great quality and look great too.

i think Phil at husqvarnaparts.com has em

EVO MX for sure.....most others has the yellow wrong....to light.
The grab handles were a Malcom Smith made product but Husky Products sold them too.

still keeping an eye on the old husky forum Joe??

I've bought both JC, no comparison.
The Evo-MX decals are not only consistently the same colour but are also a thicker, higher quality decal.
I put the others on my 250, three different yellows and very thin, average quality at best.
I think the Evo ones were cheaper too!
I'll find a pic of the three different yellows.

My barn fresh 84/250wr has the orginal grab handles. I think the grab handles were $85 when I looked them up.
