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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1984 Husqvarna 410 TE - L/C

It looks like the plate(s) or sheet the swingarm pivot bolt goes through has been welded on. Some cutting and welding to make a bit more room around the carb top? I have a 1999 te410 I modified to put the two cycle engine in. I think I put the engine into a frame much like that one and decided it needed an s shaped manifold or wait for fuel injection. It might be pretty much necessary to do something like that for keeping a registration in an inspection required state. I suspect the balance factor is different for what is shown and what was there origionally.
 
Wow - how spooky is that! I can't believe we have been working in a parallel universe****************************************

I am going for a 2 into 1 exhaust, so I can use the flat 2t right side panel... The pipes will be coated internally and externally with ceramic to help keep the heat away from the carb...

The Keihin FCR carb too a bit of shoehorning in, but it has a hot start button.... (what do you mean - they didn't make them in 84!).

Waiting for pipes to be made...
