    Good info from SUPRIZE. Also, looks like forks are slid down in the clamps. I don't know the measurement but you can loosen everything up with springs out and and bottom them out to find that point. As pointed out Husky forks were a bit finicky for me too. Always wanted to adapt a Honda or Yammy front end and see what happened...

    I noticed when someone else was trying my bike that the front end does ride high, but still smashes through the travel when landing jumps.

    Dane,
    The sounds exactly right... or wrong. It's how the Husky rode. Do the fork spring mod.

    With the fork caps off and the forks fully extended, how much do your springs stick out of the chrome tube?
