Has anyone out there had the people at Huskyclub.com do any work for them, and if so how did they do for you?
I have been trying to get a hold of them for a week, with no luck.
It's like they dropped off the face of the earth?

What kind of work did you need done? They have done shocks for me and did great work!

Yes, shock work is what I'm looking for.
I have a set of Ohlins piggy backs that I had rebuilt by Pro Pilot Racing this year, and have had nothing but problems with the shocks since.
After I ride for an hour or so the shocks bind up tight in the compressed position.
After the bike sets for an hour or two the shocks expand back to the full uncompressed length.
I'm looking to have the guys at Husky Club rebuild them for me.
Thoughts?

Dale,

I had Craig build me a new set of Piggyback Ohlins for my CR125 http://www.huskyclub.com/ohlinsnew.htm (the set above his 83 500CR project) They really warn against using old shocks, that is why I forked over the big bucks for new ones built to my specs.

I left a phone message the first time and it took a long time to get a reply and it sometimes took a week for emails to be returned, but I can't argue about the work. E-mail Craig at this address and be patient (I'm learning that is really needed in the Vintage/Evo game.)

mailto:husky@intrepid.net

Good Luck

J
