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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Before I pull the trigger I would like to verify with you guys.

79 CR 25 MM frame....will a set of 81 40MM forks and triple clamp bolt right up?..Front wheel also?

thanks
Bob
 
Yes any frame with the tapered bearings in the neck the newer tripple clamp with the 40mm forks fit right in. If your using the 40mm front wheel your ok.


I purchased all disc brake 500cc front forks for all my builds.
 
Yes Michel i had a shim made for the top and bottom bearing cups the O.D. of the shim fits cup and the I.D fits the steering stem.I tig welded the shim to the cup so it cant fall out as that could make for an interesting ride.:eek:

Click to expand...

So i will need a later model front wheel also?
 
if you have no class restrictions, you could go disc, 85-86 were marginal, 87-88 were much better
if you have class restrictions, unless they are hard nose you could probably run the twin leading
 
I purchased all newer front 40mm disc brake forks with the master cylinder, hose, caliper and disc brake rims. Might as well be safer.
