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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The 35mm forks on my 1972 bike (Betors I think) aren't that great for MX is it possible to retro fit the internals from a more modern bike say a CR85 or something similar?
 
The 35mm forks on your 1972 250WR are Husqvarna forks unless someone installed Betors from the early 125 or 175.
 
I believe that the early Betor forks like fitted to the 1973/4/5 125's were better than the early silver HVA forks..which in essence were copies of Ceriani forks..
 
I have just fitted 1976 damper rods into my 1973 magnesium fork legs. It is possible to machine the 1973 rods to 1976 specs.
