[QUOTE="TVRider, post: 603582, member: 36242"] OT, Where do I start? I talked to Vintage Iron and one of the guys there said the '72 450 was a POS. :uh: It was a bike built for the desert but even the desert riders didn't like. He said it was the Husky version of the TM400 (whatever that means, I guess it's bad). So the 450 is out. Regarding the 250, I called Bob Ginder at B&J Racing in TN. I know him from Vintage Trials and he is working on the pipe for my TY250. He also ported my TY with amazing results! I asked him about Husky and he said has a beautiful 78 250 OR but wants over $2000 for it. He is going to bring it to our vintage trials event in Casey, IL this weekend. He told me he would be happy to go through the motor on my 250, but a complete rebuild including porting would be around $1500. I'm not sure I want to put that kind of money into a $900 bike! He is good, but he's not cheap. He also mentioned he is more of a Maico guy, nothing against the Huskys, he just preferrs Maico. So I may see what he has along the lines of a Maico. He also has a 75 KTM 250 that he said is a Blast! to ride. I may look at that when I'm down at his shop late next week. I'm going to take my 250 OR with me to let him look at. By the way, I spotted [URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6712&item=2416967732]THIS[/URL] on Ebay. Is it a decent price on the buy it now? I'm not going to buy it, just drooling and trying to get a handle on the market. Thanks for the input, I'll keep you updated. :thumb: Tom [/QUOTE]
