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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

79 250cr Rear Suspension

All,
79 250CR progressive manufactured rear suspension is hammered. Any opinions on replacement options? DC plastics has reasonable replacements, or bite the bullet and drop some cash for a pair of Ohlins. This is a play bike, not going to compete. Current set up is 16.5” can anyone confirm this is correct.
thanks,
Dave
 
Current set up is 16.5” can anyone confirm this is correct. Yes, that length is correct.

Even for a play bike, you may not want to cheap out, as the old saying says , "you get what you pay for"

AKA Progressive shocks, aren't rebuildable, so if the bike sits alot, you may pull it out to ride it & the
seals well be leaking (cause there poor quality). And riding a bike with spongy rear shocks is not much fun.
