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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shortening spacer for Öhlins piggy back twin shocks?

Does anyone have a photo and/or dimensions of the spacer said to be added to the innards of the Ohlins twin shocks when shortening them? I have read about the spacer several times but never seen one.

And where is it supposed to sit on the rod in relation to the other parts already in there?
I'm guessing that it should go at red arrow, between the shim holder and the seal head but there is also a rubber part (green arrow), so that should probably sit under an added spacer too?

Turn up whatever length of spacer that looks like the one arrowed GREEN - as that is just a spacer anyway.....

The red arrow is pointing toward the aluminum spacer. You just need to figure out the length of spacer you need and as Andy stated machine or turn one to the thickness you need to shorten the shock,s extended length/travel. Just be sure to make it out of aluminum. The green arrow is pointing to the internal rubber bump stop.

Thanks Marty! and d'oh! the spacer was stuck so hard to the shim holder that I thought it was part of it... :o
