Vintage Aftermarket Performance Parts

[Vinskord]

Time to document those aftermarket parts used for our Huskys back in the early 70’s before it slips my mind. In that period of fast changes for improved performance, ease of maintenance, or for lighter parts, the aftermarket was full of offerings.

This exercise will keep to the parts available in the early 70’s – nothing modern here.

Starting off with Handlebars and Triple Trees:

Hallman Bars – Arne Kring Bend

Andre’s Bars – CroMo with matte finish and lighter than OEM

Titanium – Notice the Crossbar, larger diameter tubing than normal – these are light!

Titanium Triple Tree – These are made up of welded plates, OEM are pressed steel. 1lb-11.7 oz lighter than OEM.

Next are Shocks and Brake Stay. After the OEM Girlings wore-out there were a number of options:

KONI GP – Alloy Bodied

KONI

Curnutt

Poppy Elephant – A popular mod that used KONI internals.


Alloy Brake Stay

Saw that swingarm on ebay - got me thinking, might need to start selling! Have a couple of different styles - seems Profab was continuing experimenting.
