Steve and Ed, Husky did do a major change on the frames for 1983, primarily to accommodate the new shocks I would guess, but I think the new frame only pulled...
Did the tests say it made a major difference? On one hand, I'm thinking if I have fresh tires and just ride well, I'm ok anyway One the other, I like sharp...
