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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help identifying silencer

i tried a supertrap on my 79 250 and found it very restrictive, as i had to use so many discs the the jbolt inside wouldnt hold any more. couldnt get it wind out the whole way till i put a stocker back on.

Supertraps are excellent, tunable silencers, but they are designed to be used on 4-stroke applications, not 2-stroke.
 
Thanks for the help guys. Even though the short grenade silencer was for '72 up, thinking of going with it because I like the look. Would the Supertrapp be worth offering to anyone or is it destined for the trash heap?
 
i ran a grenade style on my 79 250..had a very distinct sound to it wasnt very loud. looked odd because of the mismatched eras but works well

Go ahead and offer it up. If someone can't use it as is, there are lots of good usable parts there. J-bolt, end cap, plates etc. Supertraps come in 3", 4" & 5" versions. You have the 3" flavor which sold new for about $69.00.
 
I used to work at SuperTrapp/Kerker in the R&D dept., the little centerbolt muffler DID have optional 2 stroke packing and was used on many old bikes and favored by Ton and Dan White of The White Brothers. I have one on my generator to soften its exhaust heavy heartbeat.
ALL the rebuild parts are still available from Dennis Kirk
