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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Suspension Travel--1976 360wr

AA Class
Hey guys,

I am looking at putting together a 76 360wr. A few friends do the vintage motorcross. Their class is 74 and earlier...I think. But, one friend says as long as it is air cooled, has 4" rear travel and 7" fork travel then you can ride in the vintage class on the local level. Otherwise, I guess anything 76 would be considered "post vintage".

The question is, what is the suspension travel on a 1976 360wr?

thanks,
Mark
 
In 75 the 250GP got cantilever shocks and they have 7.5" front and rear. WR's usually got the last years frame and suspension, so my guess is a 76 WR would have 7.5".
If your bike has cantilever shocks it will be post vinatge for sure.
 
Your bike will be post vintage like Ron said . There is a class for this bike in the AHRMA rules and its a great class . In the NW we have a class call Trans Am for those bikes . Remember racing these bikes is to be fun at our age . The World Titles are in the past . Have fun with your Husky and give us some pictures on this site .
 
I checked an old brouchure for the 1976 model line and the travel for the 250 & 360WRs are both 7.5"(190mm) front and rear as Ron guessed above
