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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fork brace for a 250 Mag ?

My 250 Mag clone ( actually a 1975 WR 250 which is AHRMA Vintage legal ) has the black leg , twin rib , Ceriani forks and a set of ProFab style triples from HuskyJunk.com . I recently installed Race Tech emulators and like them although there is still a bit of fine tuning to be done . Yesterday I was going over the bike and just happened to straddle the front wheel and cranked on the bars a bit while checking the steering head bearings for play . The wheel stayed put while the forks twisted like a pair of limp spaghetti noodles ! Even with the great triples ( which helped handling a great deal ) and the tubes slid WAY up , there is still all this flex . That jogged my memory to think of a Mag that was on ebay a while back that had a trick looking fork brace on it . Since these forks have no mounting holes or lugs , somebody had devised a mounting set-up . A buddy told me that one of the GNCC/offroad Pro's fathers ( Maybe Summers ? ) had made these and that they were available for sale but he didn't know where . I was wondering if anybody on here knew of this fork brace , had ran one , how well it worked , and most importantly , where to get one ? Anybody make their own ? I would like to take the grins off the Maico riders faces . This motor gives up nothing to any bike I've ridden against ( even the big bores ) and has gotten me quite a few holeshots . Chances of me becoming a better rider are slim so I need all the help I can get in tight turns and berms . Thanks guys .
 
In case you're wondering why you haven't had any responses... it's because we'll require a photo of your 250 mag! We love photos.

I know Summers produced fork braces for the later bikes with conventional forks, but I can't help you with 1974 bikes.
