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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can I bolt a chain guide to the brake stay?

Does this look like it would work? It's a CRF chain guide that would be a simple bolt on if I drilled a couple holes but maybe I'm not seeing why I can't attach it to the brake stayimage.jpg
 
make sure the the chain still has clearance while adjusting the wheel in and out the whole way. i can understand you wanting to use the newer style chain guide, but would be wiser to mount it to the swinger using the 2 mount holes.
 
I mounted mine using the oriiginal aluminium bracket(two mounting holes to swing arm) bolted the new guide to the bracket using home made mounting plates.
The new guide bolts through the mounting plates and the mounting plate bolts through the rubber bushed hole, the rubber bushing holds it in place but wil give a little and return to its original position if clobbered.
Never had my chain come off, also remove your rear shocks to check correct chain tension.
 
the stocker is pretty agricultural but ive never had a drama with them. I had the rollers shear the bolts and fall out and it still keeps the chain straight. any guide can suffer the mud rock issue and ive had it happen with the other styles with a wack from a big rock...
 
Turn your master link clip to the inside it will live longer.

If that bracket has a nylon slider in it she should work.
 
I have seen guides on both floating and standard backing plate to swingarm. As long as the backing plate is not put under strain and the guide keep the chain properly it will work either way
