Posting for reference.
Mid to late 80's Swedish-made Huskys used an Ohlins single shock.
I found some color codes for the rear Ohlins single shock while going through the '87 parts manual. From page 13 of the 1987 Husqvarna Parts Manual - All Models.
Since I own a few of these bikes, I always wondered what color codes = what spring rates?
These Ohlins color codes, using 3 small paint brush marks, are painted on top of the Ohlins spring. I'm not sure if Ohlins used these codes for all model years, but I know they are on the 87 and 88 models.
If anyone can fill in the gaps or verify, let me know and I will edit this post.
Thanks to rwgregory for adding some missing color codes.
