    There's pic of a friend's father, railing sand whoops on a '78 OR. 12 inches of travel on 36mm forks... Frightening!

    Yeh but 54's are a plush ride, not often would you blow through the stroke on a set of those puppies.. Probaby once or twice a ride but not too much i think.

    Never had an issue with 35mm forks. maybe I just don't ride hard enough. Or is it that I avoid riding modern jumper-cross tracks.

    Except the pre-77 125s and the '76 175 which used Betors, Husky made their own forks in either 35mm or 40mm. The first half of '81 both the 250 and 430WRs came with 35mm, then 40mm afterwards. The 125WR and autos used 35mm forks up to '82.

    In the easy trails the 35mm forks didn't fail but I did change the oil in them. I didn't run them hard enough. I didn't hit fallen trees, big rocks, big holes.

    Over about 9" of travel the 35mm forks turn into wet noodles.

    OOPS! I meant to type 35mm. I'll have to get my friend to scan the pic. His Dad was an old school enduro rider. Silver Medal at the Berkshire Trial, multiple sidecar class wins at Jackpine.
