    Hello,

    I'm looking for a place that works on WP forks. My 87 Cr forks are starting to leak, and need new swipers. I know husky only used this fork for a few years.

    87 Cr should still have the old swedish Husky Forks. WP did not show on them until the 88 to 91 Husq-Cagivas. Might want to check the year of your bike.

    WR and XC used the old Husqvrana fork.. 88 models where just carry overs from 87. 1991 models use the WP forks also shock too. I just wondered if anybody knew of a good place to have some work done on them.

    RaceTech in Corona, California could probably take care of them... ask for Mark ( owner?)

    Will try and find more contact information for you.

    Both have been in business 20+ years and are familiar with that vintage WP fork and can handle anything older. It would help if photoguy gave us his location, to narrow down choices.

    I live in Ohio and planed on having them shipped out. I had a set of 86cr forks rebuilt by pro-action years ago but I have contacted they have not gotten back to me.

    Awesome!

    I've been waiting for him to re-open! He's been missing in action for months while his shop was moving.

    Thanks for the post!

    Phil set up my 87 430CR back around 1989 ..He really did a great job on my WP forks and Ohlins rear shock..I used to call it my Magic Carpet Ride..
    He also set up my 94 WXC 250 back in 94...major improvement...
    He's came quite a ways from when i met him working out of a old parcel
    truck at Carnigie in the 80's...I rode an enduro at Stonyford back around mid 90's. I was on his number,,, i saw then why he was a ISDE rider...
    and I wasn't.....
