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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any source still available on the Acerbis type fender extensions????

I looked at the Acerbis site, and have to assume that these are many years out of production, understandably. Was curious if anybody is reproducing, or see's forsale ever, the blue Acerbis rivet (plastic rivet) on plastic fender extensions????

I got a used front fender for my project bike, just because it had the fender extensions, and then another fender just because it had the Acerbis fender brace. Figured the two would go good together. I'm planning on eventually doing a lot of riding in the Pacific NW, so I have to assume I'm going to be in wet conditions more than ever before. Sure would love to get the rear fender extensions, to match the front.

I'm thinking one set of fenders for wet, and one for dry. Imagine that's how lots of guys used to do it. Plus, I kinda dig how they look too, just different.
 
Actually, I still don't see them. And just to clarify, I'm talking about the mud oriented fender extensions Acerbis made for both the front and rear fenders as an accessory when these bikes were new. Not talking about the rear fenders extension that keeps stuff from hitting the shock/airbox, etc.
 
Thanks for sounding in Leftcoast.

Is it for the front or rear, and what year fender style????

Since I have this one front original one to work from, I'm confident I can get the plastic rivets matched fairly well.
 
OK, does it include both a front end of the fender extension, and a back end???? Or just the front?

Reason I ask, is I was looking at a parts manual, and just realized the used fender I bought only has the front side extension, and apparently these were two pieces also including a piece for the back end of the front fender.

Any pics????

I'll upload a pic of mine here today.

Again, I am interested. And keep an eye opened for a rear one incase you stumble across one in browsing, as I definetly want a rear too, thanks.
 
Hi- I couldn't find them either.I would call them,they used to make a Acerbis Nost reproduction fender with diffrent color fender flares-like Husky and Can-am riders used.
 
Hi, interesting, as one of the Acerbis used fenders I bought, says Nost on it to, and I wondered what that meant. Or was about.

I'll get my pic in here shortly. On the fender I got with the extension, the add on extension is blue plastic. Looks kinda cool like that I guess. Makes it certainly standout.
 
OK, so here are a couple of pics of the two additional tired fenders I bought. One just for the brace, the other just for the wet weather fender extension.

Really, huh. Wonder if the sold all their inventory.

Now when they made them, they didn't go so far as to reproduce the accuracy down to them actually saying Acerbis on them???? Guess that's probably a stupid question, due to legality issues.

I'd love to have the full set of those. The front and rear section for just the front fender alone, and then also the section/part for the rear fender. I really like the idea for wet riding, and with my plans to move to the Pacific NW, they could come in real handy.



On a side note, how good is the DC stuff in surface finish???? Any knowledge? I read that their stuff doesn't have the correct high gloss finish, and is a matte or flat finish appearance.

Man, the hunt is on I guess, now I really want the full set of these fender extensions, bad lol.
 
Well, for the heck of it, I sent a message to Acerbis, and DC Plastics regarding these fender extensions. On extremely rare occasions, parts that have been discontinued will be still hiding in inventory, sometimes lost due to inaccurate instock counts. Years ago, I had the main original Mopar Peformance warehouse look for some gears for me, that an old 70's Direct Connection catalog said had been available, and while the ratio I was after had all been sold out many many years prior, the contact person did some bigtime searching and said they found the absolute last 4.88 gears for this certain rear differential I had. Nobody had inquired about these in perhaps 15 to 20 years, but their system in that case, still showed one remaining ring & pinion set as being in their old DC inventory.

Will be curious to see what Acerbis, and DC has to say about the fender extensions. Though I'm not holding my breath for any positive outcome via either old source.

The finnish isn't shinny,but matte.The fenders are very durable.They didn't sell the flares seperate,you had to buy the whole fender with flares.But you could pick the color of flares.Thanks Jon
 
Thanks Jon, really appreciate the info. Very helpful.

Wonder if the DC stuff can be sanded and then buffed and polished to any kind of decent shine. I really like the high gloss look myself.
 
Sounds good. I've got an NOS rear fender ready for the project. Not sure if I can save the front fenders I have on hand, so if I don't snag an NOS front, then the DC stuff will be given a shot there.

I did hear back from DC on the fender extensions, they said if I could locate originals, they could make more from those. Guess that was safe to assume.
 
Tuf500,
There is a rear fender w/ the blue extension you are looking for right now on ebay. Search is "husqvarna rear fender". Hope this helps in your parts quest.
Rick
