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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi, I just wanted to share 2 pics. of a 1981-1982 250 Asch pipe I picked up last night. I am going to try to fit it on my 83Wr 250. the brackets are different. but I think it will work. comparing to the original, it have more taper to the larger diameter and tapers to the stinger much sooner.
Bill

Nice find. Thanks for posting the pics. I hadn't seen an Asch pipe up close before. I have a pipe out in the garage that's kind of similar. Hmm, I wonder...
 
They weren't made because by then Rick was over at Pro Circuit full time. Seriously, I wouldn't hack it up. Is there anyone near you who can make a pipe from it?
 
Looking close at it, I only have to remove the 2 mounting brackets, replace where the 2 82 style are, and move stinger in. I can probly get 1 more, would you want it?? Wasnt cheap.

When PC starteded they sold Asch pipes. I'm not sure what year they started selling pipes under the PC logo, but in '82 and '83 they sold pipes by Asch.
 
Could you post some more pics of that NOS pipe? I think the 82-CR250 I have has one. larger cone and weld seam is more offset than my other 82-CR250. Thanks, maybe a measurement of the major diameter of the expansion chamber also?
 

Hi, Yes, If you give me your email adress, I can send higher resolution pictures..

Here is a pic of the pipe off of my 82-CR250. It is alot larger than the pipe on my other 82-CR250. looks the same as the Asch pipe in your pic Bill.

When I get home from work I will look closely to see if it is the same.

I have one like that. Sent a photo of it to George E. at Uptite
He said it looks like one of his. He made them for Husky Products
as well.

Thanks for the info, that is good to know. How is the performance compared to stock? One of my weekend projects is to fix a couple of dents. Thanks, Scott
 
Well I have an 82' XC 250 as well as a 430. Never even considered if either had an Asch or any other aftermarket Pipe. I was thinking that the early 80's were before pipes were pressed in a Pattern and were still hand formed from Sheet Metal and would be a dead give away. Surprised that He and others didn't put a Logo on them Bassani and Hooker did. Anyway I think You have a lot of People interested if You know for sure who's Pipe it is if we could establish a simple Measurement some where between it and a Stocker it would be good for all to know. Thanx.....

The key would be to measure the length of each cone, beginning circumference and end circumference of each cone, plus the length and circumference of the header and stinger.

I think cones going around corners (e.g. over the cylinder) you measure the longest and shortest length and take the average.

That's just what I read. Anyone heard different?

I too think that'd be a very useful reference. Will try and do my stock 500XC pipe.
 
I do some measuring also. I have one for a 82 430, and two 82 250 pipes, have the stockers also. Easiest giveaway is the pinch weld seam is all in one line from headpipe to chamber starting past sparkplug. I measured my stock 500XC pipe and the Asch, very little difference other than headpipe was shorter on Asch.
