Secrets of the ultimate twin-shock Husqvarna four-stroke retro racer

Take a quick look at this 570cc Husqvarna thumper and you might think this is how it rolled out of the factory in Sweden in 1984 - but you'd be very wrong.
With a brand new, hand-made frame that's a thing of beauty cradling a hand-built engine with a totally new top end and a Mikuni carb, it's the best bike Husky never actually built.
We talk to the bike owner and rider to learn about the secrets of this very special bike and what it's like to ride.

Love your bike..I vintage race a 84 Husky cr500 nationally. They were a 1 year bike different frame highest developed twin shock husky made.
It's a tough bike to ride, an absolute monster to start, I've been to the biggest vintage races in the country and have never seen another one.
Was a Honda rider back in the day, bought the Husky new just because it was cool

Great video. Where did you purchase the 570 barrel?

Looks like it works great, onl thing I can see you might consider to add is a solid mount chain tensioner roller under the swing arm pivot, hate to see you throw a chain.
