    Having another source for Swedish Husqvarna parts is a good thing.

    Swedish iron awesome pics thanks for posting them.
    What year did the husqvarnas stop winning? Was there downfall was the other brands were on the leading edge of the newer designs and technology?

    downfall was the mc division being sold to cagiva, that uprooted all the dealers and many things had to start over. up to the the late 80s i think they were still respected and putting out a great off road bike. still winning at a high level.

    Years ago the older Husqvarna dealers stocked the Swedish parts. Husqvarna has changed hands so many times I think most dealers lost confidence. I'm hoping the Husqvarna can stay put and grow roots along side KTM. It looks like it's more stable now with KTM.

    The phone # for parts orders has a 303 area code which is around Denver, Colorado. Can't remember whether I've ordered from them before.
