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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What are you guys doing for fork springs in the 35 mm forks when you need a .52 or higher spring rate?
 
can you cut some coils off and then preload it . thus increasing rate ?

check the limit for coil bind . if you take 10% of length the rate will increase 10%
 
That's exactly what I did with my Mag. Was wondering if anybody knows of any suppliers that would provide a full length spring .52 or heavier....without having to use a cut spring with PVC spacers.
 
How heavy? I'm going with 40's and I'm 220 with gear. If you really want the precise spring, call Bill at Ccycle in CT (google him). He has access to custom wound springs at basically the same price as you would pay off the shelf. And he knows the vintage stuff.
