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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

82/430 PFR PIPE and silencer

I just ordered a new PFR PIPE and silencer. Of course I have a 83/500 pipe and a 83/430 pipe and I believe I have a 80/390 pipe tucked away. Future builds. I want my 82/430 build not only to look Purdy but run even better. I don't know much about these pipes but the chamber looks good. I'm after performance. Bill
 
looks like a bump in pipe volume, should work nicely. wonder why they cut their husky pipes off at 82?
 
I hope your PFR pipe is better than the one I threw in garbage. Lousy fit and scabby build. It robbed midrange power and added nothing anywhere else. I cut it open to re-fit and several joints were overlapping inwards. PFR's response was, "duhh, I dunno..."
 
The last pipe I made I used a yz490 pipe and cut, blended in, welded the beginning loop circle bend and chamber into my 83/250 pipe. It seemed to work good. I figured I'd try a new one. I'll look inside it too.
