• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

40 mm forks

I would like to get the front end of my XC/CRs a little lower, I have not done it but I would like to find a short spring in the 13mm-1/2" range, that would drop the front end and still keep over 11" of fork travel. I think I could use a urethane bumper, I have some old mountain bike forks with urethane bumpers for the main spring. With the CR damper a top out coil spring can be 1.2" long and still be stock WR travel.

Too hot to ride yet but chamfering the edges of the plasitic washer and 75 sae man trans fluid works well on my compress and release test,I compress the leg and let it free to rebound at its own pace, rebound slowed enough not to bounce off the floor when returning to normal length and had negligable effect on compression.
