Here's my old Husky. All I need is a carb and she will be back on the dirt.

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

I don't have any before pics, but this thing was in pretty good shape when I got it. The previous owner (my boss) went out and bought this thing new as his first bike. Second ride he ham fisted it, broke his collarbone, and decided bikes weren't for him. It was in his garage until '98 when I acquired it. I haven't done anything to it except a TON of polishing. I have the original aluminum fenders and number plates, too. Those are even the original Trelleborg tires.

This old model is supposed to have 46 hp and go nearly 100 mph with its' wide ratio tranny.

so how much do you think it's worth? any guesses?

johnnycrash · 12-18-2003, 11:16 AM

I am not sure. I only gave (ahem) $300 for it.

Since my dad had one just like it back in the day I doubt I would part with it for any price.

VERY COOL! My dad used to race enduro's in the 60-70's and his favorite bike was his Husky WR400. I think the OEM carbs were Bing's but they were commonly replaced with Mikuni's to help them run better.
