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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Might be wrong but I thought those only had the upper and lowers for chain guides, not the spring roller. Compression it hit the top chain guide and extension hit the lower, kept the chain tight. Like I said I may be wrong if so please correct. Scott
 
I can see that your chain guide block is in place in this picture. Frame looks good, but you are missing a shift lever.:)
 
by far no expert here, but do have a 78 390 OR..and mine is very stock and does not have them...those look like some type of aftermarket case savers-- never seen any like it. (pretty cool-at least the shifter side)- the shifter side looks the way i would think both sides should look!! is the brake side just hang out there or is it mounted at the end back to frame?
as far as chain stuff mentioned looks the same as mine

after looking closer at your pics that pipe dose not look like a OR pipe either--maybe WR- are the case savers a WR thing!?!? anybody!

Nope, '78s were a static lower tension block (similar to modern bikes) they ran it 1 year then went to to spring-loaded tensioner.
