    Also, we will be going to the East German Zchapau Enduro near the old MZ factory, plus of course the Auroux Enduro also in the South of France....

    Michel, the bike and the owner are in France, his name is Yves, you probably know who he is. I do not know him, but on another message board I mentioned I wanted to go to ISNY and he offered the bike.

    Someone asked for a Twin Leading Shoe - Rear Brake picture... You need to shorten a cam so it misses the SwingArm and turn down the outside. The Brake Arm is the key though. This one came from the Swedish P1000694.JPG Husky Factory R & D department....
    MOTORHEAD and 86 400 XC like this.

    The Forks are from the last of the Evo 1988 bikes. Cut off the Disc Brake mounts and Weld up. Then Machine back to look exactly like the 83 fork! P1000463.JPG

    The insides look like this. There are some variations within the Evo fork, and I am working to make them even better. All the Damping is done at the bottom of the damper rod - that means they always damp even if they leak! Oil is 5w and I use a 220m/m air gap with the spring out and fork compressed. Fork section.JPG

    Never had any problems locking up the rear wheel with the single leading rear brake. TLS rear brake might be cool, but thats about it.

    Making some brake arms is one of the tricky bits, we do have some brake plates and parts - but it would be cheaper to pick up a complete one off of ebay and mod it!

    Most of the 84 Huskys (certainly the Enduro ones) had the extra lug on the swing arm to prevent the wheel coming forward. We have 'tweeked' our version to hit a flat on the wheel nut - thus stopping it from loosening on its own. Works a treat and takes the strain off of the pull back tensioner bolt that are prone to breakage. We can supply all of these parts from stock...

    Took the 300 out and ran in one of the Nikasil - alloy liners at the weekend. Oh it is good and the sound from the motor is different with the ally liner fitted...

    Just got to do the prep for the Trefle Lorizien 3 day now!
