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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

two sets of fork seals

i hav 83 forks on my or 390 refurbing forks and they hav two sets of seals ? why anyone know and allthough one is bit thinner than other are they both same ?
 
That's stock

patgas,

Yes,that's correct 2 seals per leg for all 40mm forks, i'd guess to
stop them from leaking, they still do LOL. Go back & read any old
Husky test & they'll complaint that the fork seals leak :D

It's gotten better now with modern materials for the seals.

they are both the same size, however,,Husky doubled up the seals since 1971, and any of us that were looking at Huskys from that area know that, most had leaky seals out of the box,
what works for me..i buy from Rocketseals, hear locally, and order seals based on dems,
and use a double lip seal, x 2, and use caustic material seals...and install a good boot or dust cover, keep them clean, they will last forever,
last time i did seals, it was in my VOR, 2 years ago, to upgrade the seals to a double lip caustic seal, cost me 8.00 total, for 4 seals. i grease up the underside of my dust cover, and clean it after every ride...
if you use just one seal, youll be sorry, for the amount of work it takes to get the old ones out, do it right, or leave it alone..
 
yep

looking one is slightly thinner than the other ie think one is 7mm amd one 9.5 just rough guess,just making sure two of larger seals will fit,and yess will definetaly be using double lipped seals,not worth putting in otherwise.
 
different

one is slightly thinner than other,was wondering if tahts correct or they should be both same ?
