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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I saw somewhere that there is an aftermarket aluminum brake pedal for the early 80's husky's. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks

I friend of mine had one on his 82, that's where I saw it first. I don't know where he got it from.
Thanks bigbill, it's in cables and controls
In the description it fits 79 to 85

Has anyone tried the 85 Ali pedal on the Pre 85 bikes? I always wonder if they will retro fit??!!

I'm changing the front drum brakes over to disc brakes. I done this on a '83/250cr and a '81/420cr. It's nice having better brakes. I haven't made it to the rear brakes yet.
 
Better brakes is a good thing, but AHRMA frowns on front disc's!! :mad:

PS I ordered an aluminum brake pedal yesterday.
 
Andy I was referring to those ones that are sold in the states by some others. I do like the tip adjustment though
 
I just picked up a '85 125 rear brake plate it has the lower rod that goes forward to keep the brake from turning. It's not the grooved swing arm plate. I'm thinking I can use the alumimum brake pedal with cable. I'm thinking a few small holes can be drilled in the brake lever. I believe the alumimum swing arm is longer so the cable can be fitted and silver soldered. I may rose bud it.
