1975 Husqvarna CR250GP Mikkola Replica
As previously discussed, we have a car show here in our small town every July 4th weekend. I've been shopping BSA's and classic Honda's for some thing to put in the show.....but I've also been getting hammered by my friends about "Why not enter the Husky?"
Well....it needs some serious freshening up. I bought this bike from my brother in 1981, after he bought it at a year old in 1976. Didn't matter. Like many of his bikes, he took off to college and I rode them anyway! May as well buy 'em.... Anyway, just for fun, I thought I'd start a thread on the tear down and refurb. Looks like I'll enter two bikes in the show now. Damn friends....... What do they call it? Peer pressure? I received the first part in the mail today. The air box sticker. Going to get a new plastics set next. Glad someone is still making re-pops. The bike was converted to all Preston Petty "Mudders" in 1976. Time to go back to originals. Here's one of the last pics I took of it. This was well over a decade ago. The bike still looks the same. The owner, on the other hand, has changed dramatically.
