• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

This Image should set the tone/gist of/for this thread.

This thread is for detailed images and PN# references for axles and spacers for 70's and 80's Husky's. Post up detailed information including PN#, images and bike model and year... Someone searching this thread should be able to see parts clearly if they are doing a rebuild or a restoration project.....

It is pretty easy guys to snap a few pics when you do a bearing change or swap out a tire....

I still ride one, so I know! Some guys long for those halcyon days of Swedish Huskys gone by, but I say thank God for Cagiva and now BMW......

Left Side Axle Distans Spacer 1978 thru 1981 and 82 thru 84

Here are some images of the left side Axle Distans ( spacer) for 78,79,80,81 CR

PN# 15-16753-01 ( note only in 1981 listed the part number as 15-16793-01 ) ask Husky why.... it makes no sense to me...

This is one that I have restored:

Assembled on axle ( note this picture is upside down.... this actually goes on the left side of the bike

Now here is something weird that Husky did.....1978 thru 81 on left 82 thru 84 on right ( identical in dimensions but style of machining was simplified for 82 thru 84 ( less machine time saves money)

And a top view ( note that these are identical part numbers 15-16753-01) but look entirely different!)

And here is an 82 430 (note new wheel style) that has an older 81 Distans on it..... Husky mixed and matched all of these.

If anyone knows why Husky did this please advise?

So in a nutshell.... the Distans uses the same style and dimension 78 thru 80, changes PN# but not style in 1981 and then switches machine style in 1982 ( on some bikes) and goes back to the old PN#.......

This is why technical information on old Husky's is frustrating to say the least sometimes.

Hope this helps someone out.

Here are images of the Seal Case ( right side spacer) used specifically on CR Husky's 78 thru 84

This side goes against the brake backer plate - note that the groove holds a flat rectangular Blade style O-ring.....

1984 XC WR Distans Spacer Left side

This spacer PN# 15-16793-01 was used specifically on the 1984 XC's and WR's ( it was not used on the 84 CR's)

The base material on this one was not so good and pitted during recondition....

I WAS going to comment on the first pic of unrestored axels that the spacer was on backwards but did not as that is probably how you got it on e bay! No explanation other than simplifies the machining of the part but the old style doews savve some ounces and ounces make pounds. Who remebers the titanium and magnesium craze of the works late 70's to early 80's bikes?

Oh dear..

Thanks for the info

Now I know I have a rubber seal missing from the rear wheel spacer that goes against the backing plate:eek:

It would be great if we could get the exploded diagrams with part numbers online to view.
 
Wobbly rear brake plate

My rear brake plate wobbles enough to make the rear brake shoes drag intermittently, I am unsure about where exactly part/spacer 29 is supposed to go,from the diagram it looks as if it is on the outside of the brake plate,where as I think it should go on the inside .:confused:

I asked the same question a while back ....According to Joe Chod.... spacer #29 goes on the inside... the seal plate with the blade type o-ring goes on the outside of the brake backer plate

Tell me how you were able to upload a pdf print view.... in detail please.... I want to know how to do this.....

Thanks, T
 
Thank You****************************************************************************************************************************************************************!!! This is the kind of stuff we do not want to lose.
 
EDIT: Whoops! I have the wrong backing plate on my bike. Works though.

My '79 250 CR has no Seal case (15 16 611-01) spacer on the right-hand side, between the swingarm and the brake plate.

Would the seal case be fit on the bushing sticking out of the brake plate?

I almost hate to post this... but these spacers are all different & 'used'...does anyone know of a NOS source for these?.. I know for my older '71 & '72... I worked hard at trying to source "hub parts"/.....
