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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I am inside my gearbox for 1981 430CR. I have a couple of later style
sets of 83 to 86 stronger/ thicker shift forks here. They are shorter

Always looking for the stronger or better solution.

Would they work without problems on this 1981/82 gear box set ??

Shifting gear like the 705 in this box look the same on later 500Cr set I have here.

But the other 388 (500) vs 714 (430) - well the beefier forks fits perfect on 388 its a better design has radius in slot of the gear really tight and supports the shift fork well - but it does not seem to fit on this older gear. Older shift forks does not to seem to have as much support like this even on standard gear.

I think I just answered my own question. I think No . Opinions ??
 
I have several piles of internal 430 parts. I've had good luck swapping around, but I'm not an expert on any particular forks. If there's something I can look at and/or photograph for you let me know!
 
The bigger forks don't work on the earlier gear sets. The radius of the fork slot in the gear is too small. It might work for a while then break something really important. You can use the intire gear set from the later model tranny. anything after the 1983's came out works great.
