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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A day in the life of: www.hva-factory.com

Is your new rear backing plate set up with the wider brake show width post. I find much better better braking just with that 5mm added
width. The post had to changed for 81 to 82 it was hard to do.

What is the metal grade same as side cases you make ?
 
Yes, made from top grade Aluminium rather than the Magnesium of old.

We will cover both of the types - thanks for the info, as I was trying to work out what years had what setup...

Sorry mate - but we won't be making pistons! The list of things that are harder to find is plenty long enough to keep me going until I retire!!!

It is more a case of what to make next....
