1980 Husqvarna 390

A few words from the owner…
It took one year to restore the bike. It was in such a bad state even the engine was totally blocked.  I bought everything, piece by piece, from different people and shops on the Internet. The bike has matching engine and frame numbers.  I wanted original parts used in the restoration, even the rear shocks.  I sent them to the Ohlin’s Factory to be restored.  The tank I found was the correct one for the this bike (small aluminium tank for the CR) but it was a disaster when I got it.  I sent it to a guy I know who specialized in aluminium restoration on fuel tanks, spare parts for bikes, cars and boats.  He had to take the tank completely apart, repairing it from the inside little by little.  The tank was reassembled and later painted. this guy is an artist ! (took 2 months!!)
