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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cylinder Anti-Vibration Rubber

I hope this may be of benefit to some fellow forum members...

While I was preparing my 390 WR cylinder for paint, I removed the rubber anti-vibration strips, but they fell apart. After searching the usual vintage Husky parts sources to no avail, I found similar rubber strips at Comet Kart Sales that are used on high end Yamaha go-karts. Comet Kart Sales (Phone: 317-462-3413) is located in Illinois and they are super nice mid-west people.

Here is the link to the anti-vibrations rubber strips I purchased:

They are not quite as deep, but the width, fin spacing and fin thickness appears to be the same.

Here are some photos:

Neat thanks. They cut down on the fin ring? Some models used hose unless it was replaced. Thanks bill
 
I used black fuel hose many years ago on my '74 400, but I was trying to accurately duplicate the rubber strips that came from the factory on my '80 390 WR.
 
he may not have them on his web site, but he's got them. I got some from him a few months ago.
