I don't get the Husky thing, but imho it's a pretty cool looking thing (for a Himalayan).
Fighting chance of parking it and coming back to find it still there I guess.

With the engine that far back, i wonder how it handles.

There was one with a Harley engine running around London about 45 years ago. One cylinder was a Panhead & the other was a Knucklehead.

I'm no GS fan but I watched that series,I thought he did a really good job,building the frame,converting it from a Telelever front end to a conventional telescopic fork,all the fabricating & doing the wiring loom. :thumbup:
