TECH TIP Floating Brakes Floating Rear Brake maintenance is commonly overlooked and can have a significant impact on a bikes suspension and handling. This type of rear brake was common through the 80s on both dirt and street/road race bikes. ►Read More	VINTAGE HUSQVARNA FORK PARTS Early Husky forks, 35mm and 40mm have a common problem with the piston bands. The stock Piston Bands usually wear out and are known to break. Since these parts are now obsolete from the factory we have produced a hi-performance replacement band for both the 35 (FPPR HQ35) and 40mm (FPPR HQ40) forks. 35mm – FPPR HQ35 – $34.99 per pair - Add to cart 40mm – FPPR HQ40 – $34.99 per pair - Add to cart We also have special Emulator Adapters for both of these forks NOW available. The performance difference with Emulators is huge! ►More info about how these forks work! *Note - On 35mm fork caps we have special copper washers (HMWC 3035) that seal perfectly. The stock 35mm forks don't have anything to seal them (plumbers tape doesn't really work well on straight threads). This is a really clean solution.	BRAKE ARCING The difference between winning and losing can come down to something as simple as brakes. Many drum brakes are mushy with poor stopping power. Race Tech offers Brake Drum Turning and Brake Shoe Arcing. This is a bigger deal than most riders realize and can improve lap times by 2 to 4 seconds easily. ►More Info.
