Title: I now own a 2 Stroke!! Post by: nathanstott on January 23, 2012, 10,22:47 PM I picked these up for a bargain price!! they will keep me busy for a long time restoring them!
The bike with the red tank is a 1981 CR 250, and the bike with the blue tank is a very rare 1982 AXC 420 Auto. Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!! Post by: Ken R on January 23, 2012, 10,30:27 PM Well Done, but doesn't 2 x 2 stroke = 4 stroke?
I had a water cooled version of the AXC 420 Auto which was an interesting bike to own and ride. It's probably got the same 3 speed Auto as mine had so grab as many first gear shoes and springs as you can find. I might still have the drawing of the first gear hub I had made which was going to last a lot longer than the original. They used a trick oil in the gearbox as well so get some of that if you can and change it every ride. Enjoy - I did. Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!!

New seat cover on the 81 model and a bit of work on the tank of the 82 and they will look spot-on! Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!!

Thanks for the advice Ken, i guess theres heaps of bits to track down and stock up on, i have already found some good Husky parts suppliers on the net. They are in very good condition and it shouldnt take to much to restore them to new, but who knows what i'll find when i start pulling them apart! Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!!

Nice bikes Nath, always liked the look of the steel tanks on the old Huskies. If they are going now take them for a ride before you start the restoration. Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!!

They are running and i will be taking them for a ride before the restoration, just need to find some private property to ride them on, as they are unregistered, but they will be going for a quick blast around the street!! ;D Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!!

Post by: Zeb Colic on January 24, 2012, 09,23:43 AM Al good point but I will still have to see it to believe it , I can still see him shaking his head at me when i got my bike and saying " a 2 stroke why would ya " nathan now has a better set than Pam Anderson .
Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!! Post by: AL on January 24, 2012, 10,58:25 AM Alot like Pam, Zeb. A bit rough around the edges and well used.
Title: Re: I now own a 2 Stroke!! Post by: Ken R on January 25, 2012, 01,23:22 AM But I imagine (a lot) Pam would be very comfortable once on board - but hang on tight!!
