    Does anyone know what shims should be in the shim stacks in the shocks for a 250/82 and 430/82 - or will I have to guess. My 3 pair of shocks has id nr 2x HA920 and 2x HA 1768 and 2x HA9201
    Maybe anyone has a kind of Husqvarna shims stacking chart where all type of piggybag shocks are.

    Best regards to all from Sten Nielsen

    Hej Sten!
    Not what you asked for really but this list of shim p/n's may be of some help .
    I think I've seen a service letter or similar note, of how to stack shims on '81 shocks
    to replicate how they are stacked in '82 shocks. Sorry I can't be more precise.

    I have the HA 9201 stacks if you still need them. I don't recognize the other numbers as 82 250 or 430. Pic of the shocks or their original fitment and I can probably get you close.

    *For your size, I'd recommend replacing the 24.2 in the comp stack with a 26.2. This will partially close the bleed holes. They are pretty loose with stock valving. If you have no shims and are buying, then just use 2 holes in the 32.2d. That's not a 100% equivalent stack but very close.

    Thank you very much. You do not write anything about thickness of the shim.

    24.2 is 24mm diameter, 0.2mm thick.
    Sorry, It’s a common abbreviation.

    All are 8mm I.D.

    Sten,
    Did you get your shocks working? What shims did you go with and how are they working for you?

And now i will try to put a set of Race tech gold valves FEGV-3801 in my front fork but i need a spacer FEPV-AD3802P witch i can not buy here in Denmark so if anybody have a drawing with dimentions in mm i will be very happy.
    Best regards from Sten

    Hi,
    I saw an old post where you offered some spec sheet information for Ohlins Husqvarna HA4520 - 250/430 CR - 1980-82 - 445mm long 155mm stroke. Do you still have this? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could email them to me at: dwaltman@wi.rr.com. I'm just starting a rebuild on a 1982 CR390 and will need to refresh the shocks. Thanks, Dennis
