I AGREE WITH YOU THOSE HUSKYS ARE EPIC THEY NEED TO BE IN GLASS CASES ,YOUR WILL WILL NEED TO HAVE STIPULATIONS THAT THEY WILL ALL STAY TOGETHER IN MUSEUM NEVER TO BE BROKEN UP AND SOLD IN FEW HUNDRED YEAR'S THEY WILL BE CLASSED ALONG SIDE ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Doc I think it’s safe to say that that Husky is the crown jewel of your stable. I’m sure you are over the moon with how it turned out. I loved them back then and I love them even more now. That was a build for the ages. Keep up the great work. ✨🏆✨HUSQVARNA ✨🏆✨
Had one of these!!.. absolutely rapid, but next to impossible to start with my stunted legs!!... probably the beginning of the end for Husqvarna, lots of problems, the older Husqvarnas were bombproof
Nice build...I had the Husky cr500..83..twin shock..Great bike..in its day...The 89 husky 4 stroke was brilliant too..Fella Martin Snape had one at the time..I had my cr500 85..brilliant bike..Still is..in my opinion..Great day s riding those bikes..AMCA..
The kick mechanism is made to sit still in the engine while beeing able to take the cover off, that´s why the kick and gear lever is coming with the cover, so you need to learn if doing service at the track :) And, you got the wrong hub in the front wheel, you got an -87 hub. 85/86 hub is floating disc. Nothing wonky about a left kicker, if feeling it is problem, you´re not worthy =)
What a lovely bike and rebuild as always.👍 I remember those bikes in GP:s Ruskeasanta Finland. Sound of those bikes were so nice, bit like Maico if I remember correct. Those were the days...
I realise the Husky CR 500 is an office artwork and not for riding, but it would be nice to hear the ring a ding ding of her running if only for a a minute or two for us old saddos who raced in this era🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🏴🇬🇧
Doc had a Husky voice losing his wob at the spokes so kicked started the wheel to Talon so Jacky Martens would give him his shirt of his back to bring history back on the big 500.
I was forced to give up in 91, I got to Schoolboy nationals (uk 100cc) then my dad couldn't get me out to a track anymore than once a week on race days and I needed to be riding 3-4 times a week at least, so ended up stopping racing. Biggest mistake.
Not sure that they were that reliable! There can't have been many of them around even in the day. One of the few was ran by friends of ours, the Maughlings of Supersprox fame. DJ the son rode it as Roger the old man got a deal on one. He must have DNF'd more than they finished which was a shame as there's no doubt the bikes were a trick piece of gear for the time. Pretty sure '85 500 Maicos were water cooled too with front disc.
One of the most beautiful Husqvarna's ever. Well done on a magnificent rebuild.
Thank you very much!
Doc you are a national treasure, and a fountain of mx knowledge. I could spend a year listening to your bike stories. Cheers from America #legend
Glad you like them!

They are a marvel!
My favourite 500 from that era. Well done Doc
It’s a beast for sure!
Man I’d love that other husky for my living room!
It’s an indoor bike for sure!!!

You are so kind
I ran a 1984 and 1985 Husky 250s. Loved them, especially the 1985, the little Brother to your CR500. Keep up the great work.😎👍😎
Right on!
Looks amazing well done!👍
Thank you! 👍
Excellent work on that husqvarna doc

Love those early 80's white Husky's. Brings back cool memories of some fast D17 dudes BITD👍
Classic
What a lovely bike and rebuild as always.👍
I remember those bikes in GP:s Ruskeasanta Finland.
Sound of those bikes were so nice, bit like Maico if I remember correct.
Those were the days...
Yes it was!
Nice job and another cracking video 👍🏻

Sounds great!
Magnifirue cette moto , une vraie Husky au design factory trés moderne pourl époque 👍🔥🔥
Merci!

Hhhhhhhmmmmm will think about it!
Loving re watching the husky rebuild, did you ever get them out on track ??
Maybe next year!!
What a thing 👌👌
My 1985 KTM 500 did have a front disc , the rest of it was shite mind you !
Doc had a Husky voice losing his wob at the spokes so kicked started the wheel to Talon so Jacky Martens would give him his shirt of his back to bring history back on the big 500.
Hahahaha
Get billy bolt on it for fox hills
He will kill it!
billy bolt should race that thing
Hahaha maybe he is building one?
Can you imagine the state of it after😂...
I was forced to give up in 91, I got to Schoolboy nationals (uk 100cc) then my dad couldn't get me out to a track anymore than once a week on race days and I needed to be riding 3-4 times a week at least, so ended up stopping racing. Biggest mistake.
Incidentally I couldn't watch racing until last year and only found out we won mxdn then lol.
Still time to revisit a passion in life!
😍
Thank you!!!
