• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi to all cafehusky members,
I'm opening this thread to show you pictures of the finished bike and to thank you for all your valuable advice you have given me. Thanks this community I've learned a lot about my bike just reading here and I also noticed that sometimes it's even better searching directly in the CH threads instead of searching in the manual because sometimes there are errors that you have already noticed and corrected. Without this forum I wouldn't even have been able to get it started

That's a great looking 310! I must warn you about calling the build complete, I made the same statement a couple months ago and I am obsessed with doing more:eek:.
Is that a polished aluminum skid plate? I am considering trying to make my well used aluminum skid plate look polished. I also have been looking for a carbon fiber skid plate. I found one on a website that would be perfect but they don't have it in stock. It is black carbon with some red in it. I called the manufacturer and they don't make it any more. I keep telling myself (just one more part and it will be done) :excuseme:.
Excellent job Giack. I hope your 310 gives you many fun rides
 
Im very impressed. I just finnished my rebuild as well. The difference with me and you is that I never bother about the finnish. Its like new mechanically but looks like crap. New plastics ofcourse but not a single sticker fitted. Im hard on the plastics so all my bikes looks terrible after 15-20 hours of riding.

Agree and part of the fun is using it up. When in doubt gas it. Love these sweet machines
 
Have you anodized the forks or have you found them used? Looks really nice. Are there any good place to find stickers to these bikes. Would prefer at a reasonable price also.
 
Guys thank you all for the compliments, I'm glad you like it!!
Now here we are in quarantine so I've only tried it in the yard, the engine now has 50 minutes of use :cry:
@MotorcycleRon I want to convince myself that it is finished even if in reality when I find something I like for the TE I unfortunately buy it, like last week I found a used-semi new Arrow racing header for 250-310 at really good price and I bought it :busted:, my skid plate is a french mecasystem made of aluminum, 4 mm thick with satin finish (not so shiny polished). There's a site here in Italy that sells a recetech carbon fiber skidplate, is this here:

They sell it for 70 euros here in Italy, no idea of the shipping cost to US.
@soderberg The forks are TC 250 CC forks with gold anodized tubes, I sold the OC original forks and bought that pair already anodized. My stickers are custom made by blackbird racing that made graphics for Husqvarna world enduro team, I've paid only 120 euros for this kit and there's nothing more factory look than the factory bike graphics. My old plastics were all broken into different parts so I've decided to sell the two plastic kits that came with the bike and to buy a new one with new graphics. My berg original plastic looks like chewed by a dog but with some love and dashboard polish they came back to life. My rebuild lasted 7 months and every part of the bike has been controlled, polished, rebuilted or new if needed
I'll post other pics of the bike like details etc...etc and also pics of the original bike I bought in july 2019
 
Rereading now I realized that in the last message I made a soup of words :D , sorry!!
Here's the bike I bought in July 2019, the starting point:
45fbe11b-2e47-4271-98a6-a9431894210c.jpg8ddfdc08-be89-402c-a3d6-4f331414392e.jpg45a5d4f2-ab31-49c0-a829-bfb141b14993.jpg

This bike was a non-running bike with fried CDI, raped wiring harness, engine with too many hours (don't know how much), very stripped frame paint and rust everywhere, all wheel bearings fucked up and swingarm needle bearing with needles dissolved by rust, sparrow poops that had stained-discolored various parts :lol:
 
The things that are different-changed from the original bike are: engine, skidplate, forks, plastics and graphics - the rest was all kept. Frame has been sandblasted and re-painted, all the wheel-swingarm-steering-linkage bearings and front stem races replaced, all the bolts cleaned polished with scotch brite mothers and drill, removed all the dents and scratches from swingarm with final satin finish, removed transparent paint from the hubs, reconstituted the oil vapor recirculation system with the addition of the drain back kit and other little things that now run away from my mind

I like your passion Giak. When I was 16 and got my drivers licence I took the farm pickup to the yamaha dealership in Denver. I had a fake note from my mother saying I could buy a YZ 125. I was underage when I bought it but they had seen me since I was 10 years old and believed the note. I took the bike home and before I could unload it my mother jumped in the truck drove to the dealership , demanded the money back, made them unload the bike and she kept my 500 bucks. So my rebuild is dedicated to my MOM who probably saved me a broken collar bone or something. It's all about passion
