This has to be the most bottomed-out bike I've seen

Post by: JohnnyO on January 29, 2015, 10:28:19 am: Coming back over drunks I think, the track used to go straight without the big S bend.
Taken from the pits

Just goes to show how wrong the rear shock geometry was on those things!

There is no way you can see the shock shafts, that is the blue shock body. They are a long body short stroke shock.
Those ITC Husky's have easily the best twin shock rear suspension and the tyre barely kisses the guard when bottomed.

Post by: bigk on September 27, 2015, 11:32:10 am: I just dragged my 1984 Husky CR250 out of the back shed, fired her up (1st time in 4 years) & gave her a belt around the back yard track. I don't know what the magazines are on about, the bike goes unreal, fast, stable, turns & the suspension is really plush. Think I'll prep it for VIPER at Barrabool on the 25th October.
