• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250CR Mag Shocks?

Would anyone be able to suggest a set of shocks that would work well on my '74 250CR, but that look closer to original than the Ohlins ones I have on it now?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
Thanks for the reply, fellas.
The shocks I'm using now are these: http://www.huskyjunk.com/ohlins_classic_mx_shocks.htm

They work exceptionally well, but having high and low speed damping adjustment isn't exactly period correct. ;)
Hence, my plan to replace them with something that at least looks more the part. It would even be cool to have the chrome covers etc...... :D
 
I'm A big fan of works perpormance shocks, as a vintage replacement. They were makeing shocks since the 70's are very high quality and have a very good seal housing and durable seals. There avalable W.O. remote reseviour consistent with shocks of that era.
