Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

This should be on the projects thread so I can get subbed and get a regular update. Looks very stylish.

Well i got some of my favorites sitting in the house over the winter months.

There is nothing special about the Fox Forx except they are big, burley conventional forks. They don't have cartridge internals, dual chambers or anything like that. They are just big, beefy forks. That being said they work quite well and deliver a decent ride. As far as servicing there is not much to do except change the seals if they leak and keep your fork oil fresh. I had good results using ATF for fork oil filled 5 1/2" from the top of the tubes with the forks collapsed and the springs removed.

sure mate, sounds like a good idea, but would you mind sparing me a couple of minutes to message me some basic instructions on how I can link the posts I have done so far to a Projects thread, then I will post the rest of the progress in that one instead..... I have never used forums until I joined this one so I am almost clueless when it comes to forum best practises etc.

thanks !

Thanks! So where do you get seals for these forks?

Will mail you tomorrow, sat with a sloe gin after a long day now

Seeing as these are 44mm tubes just order 44mm metric seals from any local seal and bearing supply house. There is nothing special about them. Remove the rubber dust cover from the sliders and look down at the seals. There should be some numbers on the seal itself probably like 44 x ---. Those are the numbers indicating the size of the seal,(44mm internal diameter x whatever the external diameter is). Those are the numbers you will use to get the proper size seal.

Just finished up my swap meet $200 special.Wish I took a before pic.It was rough,but the motor was solid.A lot of blasting and painting and picking parts out of my Husky stash.Now it's time to get it muddy.

Wow, a well spent $200 I'd say...looks great. P.S. don't forget to paint that kickstand. The most overlooked part of any bike. It doesn't make it go fast or stop well or handle better....but darn handy to have.

Thor Lawson should have the seals you are looking for. he is a vintage fox shox/forx guru.

With skis !

A couple of pics of my '75 250. Complete novice to Huskies and riding dirt bikes but at the age of 41 decided to give it bash! Managed 3 race meetings this season but hopefully more next season.

Very nice Colin. Will probably see you out and about next year. Which end of the country are you, North or South ?

I'm in Edinburgh. Furthest south I get is Thornhill in Dumfries which is our biggest meeting. I did get down to Kendal for the Nostalgia as a few friends were racing. Once I get a bit more confident in my abilities I consider an entry for there!!

Guys, am looking for some pics of 125 1986 to see the swingarm and rear brake....
I am around the same bike and I dont know if those parts were different from a WR model.
I know someone of you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
