• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

iv found the center to center shock length for the 81 wr 412 mm cr 436 mm on the hva cd is it the same length for 82 . was there a shorter lower leg type fork for 82 or is it 83 on ,also need the length of the 82 wr forks thanks
 
1982 250/430/500 Upper and lower fork legs were 40mm and the same length for the WR/XC/CR also all used the same springs. The WR's used shorter dampening rods compared to the XC/CR. 125's still used 35mm forks in 82.

Not in 82 and 83, The wr lower legs were the same length as XC/CR lower leg. 84 WR's had the shorter lower leg with less under hang.

The 81 430 WR had 35mm forks until the very end of the production run, when some late ones got 40's. The 82 had 40mm forks with long underhand, same as 83. 84 got the shorter underhang on the WR's. 81 430 WR had less travel front and rear than 82WR, and both WR's had less travel than CR/XC. The 81 WR's also used a slightly shorter shock body tube and shock shaft.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but your 412mm is probably 81WR and 436mm likely 82WR. The CR/XC shock comes in around 440-445mm???... again, from memory, no numbers in front of me.
 
thanks the guy im doing them for has given me a budget so ill have to work with the tubes iv got think i can get 420 out of them ,as he wants to keep the bottom mounts the same as standard did a set at 436 for a mates 82 cr 430 that look spot on
