• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

40mm xc/wr/cr forks

What is the difference between XC/WR/CR 40mm forks on 82/83 bikes? Is it just damper rods or totally different forks? I want to put a 40mm WR fork on my 78 chassis.
Thanks

The length of the dampening rods is the difference. The exception is the 84 WR lower legs have less over hang past the axle but still used the same WR dampening rod length as the 82-83 wr's.

Really doesn't matter, on whether you use CR/XC/Wr, because the forks are way longer, then you'll
need. I put a set of 1979 WR forks on my 76 360CR (78 125CR frame) & as you can see there
way too long.
