1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross

Owner: Dorian Sleeper

I bought this bike in January of '98. It is a 1971 MI series Husqvarna 400 Åberg replica,  the last year for the 4-speed right-side shift. It's a far cry now from the sad state it was in when I "rescued" it. Everything, including the motor, has either been rebuilt, repaired or
replaced. It took me 15 months to complete.

While I was working on the project I obtained a couple of other Husky 400s that I race regularly. I ride this one around occasionally on nice days. I haven't worked up the nerve to go race it (yet).

Special note of thanks to Craig Comontofski and the Husky Club, John LeFevre at Vintage Husky and Matt Hilgenberg at Speed & Sport.
