84 front forks

It all started back in the early 70's when the magazines started testing bikes and playing with the forks. They all started with 6" from the top (As A Starting Point) then added or subtracted from there. I think over the years the "starting point" was left off when people were talking about forks.

Since 1978 I have rebuilt and tuned fourteen sets of Husky forks to suit me. I always go by volume rather then measurement in inches. Husky forks are simple to work on and tune but you have to start with the correct springs.

tommie d,

What springs would you recommend (for '84 era)? I am clueless on this. Mine are like something off a pogo-stick. Hence the 550ml of 15wt oil.

Depends on your weight. I started gaining weight in the early 90's, by 95 my springs were toast on my 84 250WR so I put a 87 front end on it for springs and the disc brake.
It's been thirteen years since I got a pair of 40mm springs. They were for my 83 250 CR I got them from my local dealer Letco (they bailed on Husky a few years back). I think they ordered them from White Bro's. I think you can still get springs from them or Race Tech. Maybe Progressive or Ikon might have them too.
