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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

76 WR 360 the good, bad, etc...?

Neat. Never heard of that model. $200 doesn't sound bad, until you realize that the cost of a bike has gone up approximately 5X, so that's like another $1000 added on... so just like a current KTM Six Days package?
 
I do not have the machinery at home I used to but I do have a 20 ton hydraulic press to play with and access to a vocational school with all the machinery I used to have plus much more. Last day of school was the 20th and little access now until September.
 
SteveF--That looks great. Beyond my capabilities, but looks great. There's a market (maybe small) for those if you want to make them. Some of the talent displayed on this site is pretty amazing.

Thank you KIM750:) I only had the time for a one off, but still have the CAD model, perhaps down the road something could happen;)
 
Hey Steve F , would definately be in the Q to buy if you ever made a few more of those amazing kick starts !

Glad some of you mentioned they dont like corners, thought it was just me :)

I have all kinds of CAD software so if the file is less than 7 meg file, you can email the file to me. Also let me know what software or use generic like parasolid or STEP. PM me

Hi jimspac, thanks for your interest. I modeled the kick starter with Unigraphics NX 10. I can send you a screen shot like the one above, but as for the real part file, that I'm going to sit on "just in case" I find a way to proceed with making, or farming out some more of these:<) I have a lot of time and machining in it, hope you understand :cheers:

Cheers, Steve
 
I would be happy to buy one if you have them made. I was toying with the idea when I got a replacement kick starter lever for my 86 KX250. I as going to get another and make a reverse image knuckle with that nice forged steel and chrome KX lever

I have the exact same problem Kim750, pushing 63 and and short.....so I made this for my 360CR, world of difference, 2" longer and your boot lands below the peg, not into it:<)

Hi Steve, I wondered whether you had made any more of these or would consider making another, and at what cost?

Many thanks
Luke
