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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

86 Shock Lower Pivot,

I am rebuilding one of these single shock ohlins and Im having diificulty sourcing the bottom shock bush/ pivot/heim bearing.

I have seen this done in modern KTMs in a heavy duty plastic -PE or similar. Very cheap and easy to machine, with some give (and a consumable). Does it really need to to pivot(on the ball from side to side) given the way its mounted in the linkage. Seems to be a carry over from the twinshocks.

Interested to hear opinions out there.
 
I would have thought that Ohlins would be able to supply this as a standard repacement part as it would be common across many different shock models?
 
tried steve cramers(aussie ohlins agent for those outside oz) according to them its a superseded part,
hence im thinking of machining the part in plastic as per previous post
