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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Viva l'Husqvarna d'Italia!
I need a replacement piston/rings. Is OEM the way to go or are there better aftermarket options?
 
I used a stock B piston in my A cylinder. Top quality. I couldn't find the part# on the microfiche, I had to call (Hall's) to get it they had A B C pistons in stock.
 
according to husqvarnas 144 parts diagrams the A/B piston measures 57.94-57.95mm,the C/D piston is 57.95-57.96mm,the E/F piston is 57.96-57.97mm.sometimes these pistons are also called #1,#2,#3.dan
 
Just talked to Dan at Motoxotica. He has the piston/ring top end kit in stock and I should have it as soon as tomorrow! Awesome!
 
There are a number of piston's that work well with the Husky 144. Some take head work but offer other benefits. Bottom line is that the OEM piston is one of the best forgings you can get period for any bike.
