I thought you said they were in Tulsa. But, if you find yourself feeling like going on a drive, sure post up some pictures, there might be something of interest to me.

Or if you have the contact info and or address, if the wife feels like going for a drive, maybe I would head that way.

Torben - I have an 87 WR430 and just ordered a 96 Suzuki RM250 fork & triple clamp off eBay! So you left the stock Husky races in the frame as-is, and ordered bearings to fit the RM stem (ID) and Husky races (OD), right? Do you happen to have the bearing info? Size? Place you got them?

Thanks!

I've done this conversion to my 86 auto with forks from a 2010 husky tc250. All I needed to do was press out the races from the 2010 frame and then press them into the auto frame and they fit perfectly! No need for any spacers or modifications to make it all fit

FYI, 2000 Husaberg FE600E forks bolt on to an '86 Husky WR 400 as well. That was a great setup and the brakes were fantastic!

 

[suprize]

bolt up via the steering stem or into the triple clamps? I see now, must be via the steering stem.

2010 husky te250 front forks and triples bolt right up onto the 86 models aswell. Have a set on my bike right now

 

[yellowbronco]

So, apparently I can mount a set of '10 TE250 forks to my Husaberg. This is good to know!

Thanks guys! Going out for shake down ride on Sat.....looking forward to it. Motor has been completely rebuilt too.

So how did the shake down ride go Torben?

I have a complete front end from a 2005 DRZ400 that run essentially the same forks that I intend to fit to my WR400, do you have any info regarding the bearing size you needed?

Tony.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd bump it. Anyone know if the fork stops on the frame worked with the Suzuki forks? The bottom triple on the Suzuki forks is raised and doesn't look like it will hit the factory stops. I'm also curious on the bearing sizes used.

Posted earlier.

Mine contacts the stops but not very well . It's something I haven't addressed yet properly .
Might make some alloy bungs that do the job . Wouldn't survive a gnarly crash but I never fall off anyway

 

[VoodooHusky]

Thanks. I was thinking of doing something similar with a rod/tube that slides into the existing tube where the plastic pieces currently go. Then weld on a plate that goes up vertically to catch the lower tree. Once I get into this project I'll post how I resolved the issue.
