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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got tired of working on engines on 2X4's and such. OTC has this adjustable work holder. Fabbed up a stand for it. Holds cases flat for case assemble and then put the angles on it for vertical work. Dont mind my messy workbench.

Dang it,:banghead: I though that engine was a little light, spare parts! Barrel for that 250 on the stand is suppose to be done today (machine shop) then start on my 500 engine. I have three engines to do this winter. 84 WR250, just about done. 500 for my Silver Streak replica. 82 250XC restification. I'm very curious of the 430 cranked 250 Scoot brought up, ends up a 300! I want to build one:thumbsup:

430 cranked 250 jug sounds like a raging bike!

Build it and let us know how it roosts :)

I have most everything to build one so I'm looking forward to it. Probably try it out in my 82 CR250 chassis. Have a set of V-Force reeds and a Ashe pipe for it also. Man I love Husky's being all the same so you can bolt all CC's in the same chassis.:thumbsup:
 
Hi,
The OTC work holder you are showing is perfect for what I need. Can't seem to locate it on the OTC site, probably just overlooking it. Do you have a part number or know where I can purchase one?
...and are you making any of your support stands for purchase?
Thanks & Happy New Year and safe riding! - Mike
 
I have a hard copy of the catalog at work, I'll look tomm. As for the stand I will see if one of my welding students is interested in making one. I teach welding at the Comm. College.
 
Thanks Husq.fleet,
Looking foward to your reply & PN from the catalog and hopefully where to purchase.
...and if one of your welding students is up to it please let me know.
Thanks and My Best Regards, Mike
