    As to the itc shock springs. I made up a set with two springs from my parts pile, later I discovered they only came with one long one. That might be an option for others. I have been told the new replacement shocks come with two.

    I dont think so, as I believe this would be a very simular pipe to the 84.

    Others mention dynoport it think.....

    Some more pics from Andy and Rob's ride at the Tref, both guys rode a fantastic race both beating a lot of modern bikes in a modern event. 3 days of incredible off road terrain and around 250 kilometres a day, riding with some of the worlds top enduro riders, past and present, is a hard ask for bikes over 30 years old. Because of Andy's hard work and enthusiasm we can still race these old bikes without fear of damaging some irreplaceable part, Andy has made sure that what has become unobtainable he will have re-manufactured by his own skills or sourced out to a third party.
    Out of the 3 bikes entered only the 510 had a couple of minor issues, the rear brake rod got itself wrapped around a tree stump and was ripped off and the damping in the Ohlin ITC's shocks went off because of the heat. Neither issue stopped Rob from a well earned finish. My own HVA-Factory 300 ran all of the first day faultlessly, it was only an ongoing back problem that caused me to retire.
    Rob and I say thanks to Andy at HVA-Factory for being a true Husqvarna enthusiast, both personally and as a business. If it were not for the likes of him our hobby and sport would be in a much poorer place.

    Andy, What forks was Rob using on the 510? They don't look like husky forks.
