Husqvarna 390 Automatic description
|
1978 Husqvarna 390 Automatic purchased from original owner in 2014. Bike has been completely worked on and tuned by Uptite Husky in Santa Ana, CA. Runs as new, race ready. Totally restored, frame and swing arm powder coated, exhaust ceramic coated. All new NOS clutch shoes, springs and related parts in transmission. New tires. Original paint on tank. Original seat. Has been in dry storage since 1980.
I bought two of these from the original owner, who purchased this one for his wife in 1979. She may not have had 15 hours on the bike. She failed to allow it to idle before engaging the transmission. That's why I needed to replace the 1st gear clutch parts with NOS parts. I did not restore the wheels, as new buyer may choose to ride in vintage events. I will include an extra green tank, original owner's manual, and a California pink slip. A Husky speedometer will be installed (not shown in pictures). A video of the bike running is available via email requests. Bike sold from Huntington Beach, CA. Sold as is. No warranties. For questions or serious inquiries, call Morie at (714)962-0841. I reserve the right to cancel this ad, as the bike is listed locally. |

2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R Makes Public Debut
Wed, 14 Sep 2011The 2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R made its public debut in Frankfurt, Germany, in the courtyard outside BMW’s display hall. Displayed together with other Husqvarna models as well as motorcycles from parent company BMW. The display bikes were all anchored firmly to their stands and test rides were not available but I did get some seat time on the Nuda.

Swedish solutions
Wed, 05 Dec 2012ONE question - where can we get one? The video shows Swedish army issue Husqvarna 258's (1981) fitted with 'ski-stabilisers'. The riders put their feet on the skis and slide in confidently, despite the snow and ice. Apparently these are pretty common in the Swedish military which is as good a reason as I've ever heard to do your service for King Gustaf. Check out how he opens it up at about 45 seconds in...
