[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1152332, member: 22658"] You really can not/should not view this bike in the same light as any "old" but "modern" bike just to ride - this is a 31 year old collectible bike already. It sounds like it is otherwise complete, and in decent shape. With that assumption, it deserves to be rebuilt/restored and returned to its former glory. Try this post over in the vintage forum - there you will get a response much different that what others have already shared here. Finish off rebuilding it - do it right. Milling a warped head might be a good way to go. You generally can get away with some milling with no other changes - depends on the bike. Compression will of course increase. As long as there is no physical clearance issue, or if compression does not go up to high, a viable option. Dont take off any more than you have to. Better yet, track down the vintage husky web site for great advice there! Another option is to track down at auction or where ever a different head and cylinder. A couple links to get you started. Each of them will likely lead you to others: [url]http://www.vintagemx.us/cgi-bin/swapmeet.cgi[/url] [url]http://vintageiron.com/[/url] [url]http://www.vintagehusky.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
