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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How to mount ohlins remote on ML frame??

Husqvarna
AA Class
In looking at pictures, it appears remote ohlins were mounted such that the hose coming from the left shock pointed down. The right side pointed up. Here is a pic I copied from another thread:



On the ML frames, like my '78, the top shock mounts were different and do not appear to allow the shock to be mounted with hose pointing down. If I can clear the pipe, any problem with having hose pointed up? Anyone have pics of remotes mounted on ML frames?
 
It should, but the pipe can pose a problem. On the right side, you also have to deal with the airbox flap. My solution is that I cut two 6 inch sections of pipe and screwed them to the underside of the frame where the front of the seat attaches. Then I clamped the remote and rubber buffer to that pipe. Its tight, but it works. To be clear, the bike above is not my bike, just a reference picture.
 
The picture you have there is an 'MM' frame. Right reservoir under seat, left on frame as pictured. The ML framed bikes came as standard with Girling shocks, but you could also specify Ohlins. These were usually the piggy back ones. You will have to figure out mounting points for the remotes (usually somewhere on the rear frame tubes).
 
I have a 1980 with MN frame. The factory mounting is as shown in the picture but I felt it was a bit busy with the kick lever and carb being so close so I turned the top of the shock around so the hose came out the back and mounted the reservoir under the seat.

There were remote reservoir Ohlins on the 78 OR frame I got. The reservoirs were hose clamped to the bottom of the seat front mount plate.
