Hello everyone, Eward from the Netherlands here (but i live in spain)
Last Saturday i got my hands on a lovely project bike for a measly 450 euros, a 1996 Husaberg FE 501 (on the papers it says MC 501 but i think that's the FE)
It definitely is a bike that needs work, first job is a good carb clean to get it running. Then get it driving because its also missing a chain.
The plan is to make it street legal at some point, luckely it has the technical papers that are required, but its missing quite some bits like indications and buttons, speedometer incl cable, brake light cables, kill switch and probably more. The last owner made some upgrades as well, a lovely Ohlins rear shock, Mikuni carb and an upgrade to the oil system which supplies the head with more oil.
I would love to get some advice on this project, what would be the best approach to make it street legal (as in parts). Anything i really need to look out for with these bikes? I'd love to hear some input!
The beast! i do have the headlight luckely haha
