50-Year-Old Husqvarna 400 Pre Build Look

I'm really looking forward too seeing how this turns out.

Good stuff guys, love to see these older ones getting some love. I've been racing vintage for a few years now. Did a 75 Husky 175cr first with some of my Garage Rats Racing team. Just finished a 75 Tm 100 for the Zoar valley reunion ride this summer. Also Two 67 Greeves challenger 250s. We go to Unadilla Rewind every year.

I had a 1969 Husqvarna 360 desert cross bike. it had the yellow fuel tank but it was much bigger than that one and the red ones. it was a hell of a good motorcycle I had it for a long time and rode the hell out of it. that one and the one I had are pre long travel suspension era bikes. the one's that were made before the long travel suspension revolution. are sorta difficult to restore with the intention of riding them. because they will beat a person to death. it' makes them less desirable to restore. however one nice thing about old Husky's is a lot of the parts are the same and can still be had.

Yeah spend a ton of money on it rebuilding it then just leave it sit somewhere...real smart. Its a dirt bike ride the freaking thing! Would you spend 60 grand for a new P/U truck to leave it sit in your driveway? I have 2 Bultacos I restored to almost museum quality that I race in vintage MX. That is what there were built for...not to sit collecting dust. Not like they are worth millions and neither is that Husky.
