Hey Watto, I am not sure if it is much better. It was on the bike when I bought it. I used to have a 430CR with the floating brake and it seemed to have more feel. I asked the question on Husky CafĂ© and the general opinion was that the XC setup was better.  I dunno ??  I think mine has 83 model XC wheels and swingarm in it - 18 inch rear and tls front brake.

My '85 AE500 (Auto). Last of the twinshocks. Almost feels like cheating, when you are on a track that suits it  ;). Hope to have a ride on it at the Echo Valley Nats.

Hey screamin62,

Have you done any internal mods to the forks to better absorb the pounding that they are getting???

Cheers

The forks have Race Tech Emulators as well as stiffer springs. They work quite well considering the short travel. Nice bikes everyone!
