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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

88 Steering head bearings

They are the same 82 and 88 and wr models up to somewhere around 2004 the cr models changed a few years earlier than 04 if I recall correctly. Some other things will fit in the frame with a different size inner bore and race angle for the rollers. I am pretty sure it is an inch series bearing and race.

Thanks, I see "All Balls Racing" has a kit for $23 listed for all 88 models but nothing newer. I doubt they are the integrated seal ones though, maybe? I'll try a set.
 
My lesson about how pay pal is for getting your money and shipping your stuff a month later came ordering all balls steering neck bearings on ebay form a seller which listed many many models all of which used the same bearing so they had to have them in stock right? wrong. That set was for ktm bearing and seal which fit into the (in this case 1998 huysky) neck, I still have that set as I ended up getting from the bearing house but had to re use the seals. the bearings might have been ok but the seals certianly weren't like the origionals. The husky bearing is a standard thing with a standard seal, I think in the industrial world you had to order the race seperately as there are five or six possible pockets it goes into. I am rather suprised at how happy folks seem with the linkage bearings elsewhere on this site.
 
The 1978-1989 Steering Head Bearings are 25mm, ID 50mm OD, 15 long Timken tapered roller bearings . The bearing number is L44643 and seal # is L44600L Husqvarna-parts.com has the bearing, race, and high quality seal set for $28.I get bearings from All balls only when the bearing is not a standard available. Most through All Balls are non-standards
 
I have been using cup # L44610 and cone L44600-LA which is numbers off of the factory parts. The cup is inexspensive but the cone is spendy with the integrated seal. Does the All Balls have the seal? If so their price is what i have been paying for one cone!

All Balls seal is a flat plate with a rubber lip. The seals come in their conversion kits but are not of the qualty that came with the bike OEM
