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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Getting my 84 500AE ready for the isdt reuion ride in Ohio.I'm in need of one of the large out board freewheels.Thanks in advance for any help,Joe
 
Try Dave Pratt at TriTrophy on eBay. .

Also a German manufacturer is GMN Paul Muller Industrie at http://www.gmn.de They may have a U.S importer. Be prepared for the cost to be in the several hundreds of dollars!

Have seen some Chinese suppliers on the Internet also but ...... no thanks for now. Quality? Minimum order?

Let us know how you get on with the search.
 
What happens is the cage starts to break up.When that happens the segments loose separation and start to lay flat.The segments are pretty tough,but the cage is fragile.
 
Maybe some of the more knowledgeable members could confirm if the 4 speed have the same transmission parts as later 3 speeds.

thanks. snagged it. back when, that stupid thing was about $150,
in the late 1970's.

i've been doing a little bit of research on spraque bearings, and there
is one german manufacturer, that i believe was OEM for husky, who
has a US distributor, who gave me two jobbers who are in san diego.

i'm planning on giving them a call in the morning, about pricing and
availability. have to pull the trans apart and measure shaft diameters
to see which of their parts match up, and what the cost is.

i'm not seeing any of this as being cheap.... but i knew that going in.
 
Cool, I seen it on ebay several months back. He had a total of 3 at that time.
I was watching them and then they disappeared, until this one popped back up.

I have several NOS sets of 1st & 2nd-3rd shoes, drums, and springs for mine but only one set of good used sprags and drums.
Please let me know what he says about price it would be nice to have one new set of back ups.

he has one more of the large one, NOS. the one i just bought. honestly, that price is pretty good.
that particular spraque NEW in 1978, was about $125.

message him about it. i'll see what condition my weights are in
when i open it up some day when i can squeeze the time. busy at work now.

if you have a set of NOS unfitted weights, that would be suitable for patterns, i'd
like to find a way to cad them. the guy in the shop across from my shop is a gunsmith, and has a
5 axis fanuc mill...... i'd digitize them, and that would solve that.

i've been looking for about a year and a half for a 390 auto. they seem to fall into two camps.

ones on ebay that are in six boxes, but the owner is SURE everything is there, for $2K,
and museum restorations nobody will ever ride again, for $13,500.

this one has been in storage in a conex since mid 80's, was used one weekend in the 90's,
and was sold by the original owner, who is 88, and finally accepted he isn't gonna ride it.
it seems to have maybe 20 hours on it. swingarm isn't even rock chipped, and pegs and
frame downtubes don't even have paint rubbed off from boots.

when i went to transfer title, the nice helpful people at DMV asked if i would like a red stickie,
green stickie, or a license plate..... why, yes, a license plate would be lovely.......

they plated it. what the hell, i doubled down, and got personalized plates for it.
note: this doesn't happen in real life on this side of the country.

so now, i'm looking at consumables. the extra head and compression release are in the
mail, i got a set of curnutts, and preston petty products are still available.......
headlight number plate, taillight fender, and we have it about the way i had the last
one in 79, including the plate. that one was plated too....

i'll start a thread when i have pricing and availability on the spragues from the OEM supplier.
i'm guessing NOS will be cheaper, but when there is no more NOS....
