    570 in a farmers field, is it a good idea?

    You be the judge :) Went for a little spin with the 570 today, just a bunch of old farts having fun in a farmers field. Normally we go ice riding this time a year, but weather messed with the ices. We got a bit of land plowed for us, a 2,8km track. http://youtu.be/UrN_gwixYn0 Video is a...

    Buying 2005 FE550 with 11,500km, good idea?

    Just want some advise. I would be a first time Berg owner and looking to buy this bike. It has some km's on it but seems to be well maintained, regular oil/filter changes, valve adjustments. So he says. Just wondering how many km people have seen on these bikes before you are looking at doing...

    Newb with a crazy gas tank idea- will it work?

    So I'm getting a 2011 570 S and I was thinking about making a spare fuel tank out of the stock exhaust and mounting it on the left side of the bike. Figure it might hold a gallon and would look like the bike has dual exhausts. I'd make it so that you could pull it out and fill the gas tank...

    Any idea's on mounting the speed sensor?

    I bought this six piston caliper two seasons ago. When I bought it, I failed tp realize that I needed a different fork setup. So I ended up replacing the Husa FS forks for a set of dirt forks from a 08 KTM SXf450. Now the brakes bolt up and work VERY well. Only I ended upgoing the whole last...

    Using my 08 FE450 as a dual sport - bad idea??

    Hi I'm thinking of making my berg street legal and using it to dual sport. not as a daily commuter, more like 10 or so time a year (!!) of 1 day trips - mostly gravel and 2-tracks with the occasional payment to and from the truck. In the future I would like to maybe use it for a week long trip...

    battery relocated - pre '03s = great idea!

    have a customers bike here right now, an '02 and someone has stuck the battery up under the seat out the way. aesthetically it looks better IMHO but what made me smile was the way that it got put there. that central bolt that ALL husabergs have? the one in the middle of the bike? well he...

    Vent Hoses - What a poor idea?

    I just bought this 2002 FX650e and it runs/starts like crap (a common problem I gather from posts). I have the whole thing torn down to the frame and I am working on getting it patched/cleaned/fixed peice by piece. When I was cleaning out the carborator I realized that the two hoses I thought...

    Heat wraps: are they a good idea?

    One of the upgrades I need to do is add a heat shield to stop burning my pants on the header, but not too long ago we had a post about heat wraps and thought about it for a little while. It seems that it would pay to add a heat pad between the carburetor and the exhaust, from what someone...
