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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Real answers to a real problem!

I guess the only difference in xc and wrs are the wrs have a factory spacer in them that only give a wr 10 or so inches of travel. So I just have to take the shocks back to the place that rebuilt them and have him put that spacer in and do the same to forks or maybe just rise them up some.

This is coming from another old (56) short guy 5'2"with a 82 XC,,,,
Front end.... (option#1) drop in top off spacers. (option#2) track down a set of WR forks or WR lower spindles.
Rear end .... (option#1) shorter shocks, approx 16.5" eye to eye. (option#2) Spacers added to the Ohlins and a WR rear swing arm.

With the above done you'll be in the range of 36" free standing seat hight.....

Now once that's done and you've meticulously gone back though you Swedish jewel, bearing greased, wheels trued, cables lubed, clutch adjusted etc, etc,,,,, Set the thing back up on the stand and go buy a new Beta 300 XT, save the Husky for when your waxing nostalgia or the local vintage racing comes to town :D
