nice group, the 80s husky bikes dont get much respect but they make great playbikes. we here know what they accomplished on the professional level in their day. anytime i watch 80s enduro or isde 6 day videos there are tons of these things..way more than other brands.

Wow, nice collection of bikes, 86 400 XC.
I sure like those 500's, especially the famous 82.5 500 Silverstreak. I should have never sold mine. Crap.

Now you need to add a few 430s and an Auto.

A lovely collection. A good idea to line them all up together for a photo shoot. Just hope no light fingered folks can work out where they all live from the shots!

1 of the silver tank bikes is a 83 430 WR in a 84 XC frame.
Its a bike i built around a spare motor and pipe i had, old Huskydoggg (Steve) gave me a nice roller dirt cheap with good shocks even.
Its my Billy GROSSI wanna be bike lol.
My 86 XC 400 got a cylinder swap to a 87 430. So i have 2 but not so legit by VIN.

I do want a 87 430 AE or a 500 now haha

He sure is great, gave me many cool parts and posters.
He is having a blast riding a dual sport all over and hiking.
No fixxed address, just riding where ever.
Here is a pic of Steve from yesterday, he is in Vilcabamba Ecuador ·

I Picked up a 85 XC 400 for $400 on the weekend with my want add.

Only bad parts are the exhaust and some plastic.

Steve was great for getting a few hard to find parts for my 1986 430AE rebuild. Always shipped with a little 'bonus'.
Steve used to work for Steen Hansen, I was a sponsored rider of Steen Hansen's distributing company back in the 80's. Met up with Steen a few weeks back at the Husqvarna Canada sponsored Grand Prix de Mud event. Hadn't seen him in almost 30 years, it was cool talking about the old times and common friends. that's when Steve's name came up.
How did you come across a recent travel photo of Steve, are you following him on social media? If so, could you share that with us? Always wanted to do something like that.

Paul Andratis.
