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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ohlins itc shock question

Does anybody know where this bushing goes. It was in the vintage husky kit and I have no clue where it goes. I know the kit you have to change a few things around due to the updated seal head.

That is the piston sealing ring for the piston in the main body....not the piston in reservoir that seals with an O ring....
 
In the Ohlins vintage kit you should have also received the piston sealing ring strips for the reservoir piston (2)and the shock body piston (2). The ITC shock does not use this type of sealing ring you pictured. Ohlins includes several extra parts in the kit to fit several different vintage shocks. Once you get the shocks apart you will see what the piston sealing strips look like. Also the sealing strips may need to be cut down or made shorter to fit the pistons correctly.
I hope this helps!

Thanks guys. The kit I got was from Vintage husky
I wasn't sure what the deal was . I know there is a bit difference because of the new seal head being taller. It just didn't seem to make sense.
 
Interesting manual. It says push the reservoir piston all the way down where I thought it should be 10 mm from bottom? Also the Allen key screw on elbow some bleed and fill through there. The manual should be the definitive approach but any comments?
 
After you push the seal head back into position it will push the fluid and cause the reservoir piston back up.
