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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

And you must be single?:thumbsup: I assembled my WR engine last week. I was able to sneak the cases into the dishwasher for the final cleaning, wife was at work and I have dirt on the daughter. My wifes is used to it from my drag racing days though.
 
So when you get to Arizona what is the chances of having to put a letter in addition to that number? That seems to be a very common choice just like 911. Myself I use the displacement of something I have. Do you have to remove that sidestand for the type of event you plan on entering?
 
it has a letter,,J, ill ride Trials on Sat, trials and MX both Sunday,
its an AHRMA event.
the side stand is just stuck on to hold the bike up, not attached with the washer, pin and spring.
belive it or not ib had that number for many years, just like Bad Brad. he,s 69 K.
thats the factory works bike i told you about, going fast wont be the problem, hanging on might be.
STOVE???hmmmm. id have to get my toes cold to do that...ill have to see if i can fit that in.
 
Nice bike. Always cool for some reason to see a bike inside the house. The in the kitchen shot is great!
 
H.fleet,

You are a genius,here i was going to invest in a hot tank,brilliant.

Are you getting any spots on your cases or are you using jet-x for a spot free sheen?

You definately want to use it otherwise the Magnesium will start to oxidize! Dishwasher also heats pistons up nice for a easy wrist pin fittment!
 
Learning far more in here than I ever would have guessed! I've used the oven before, but who woulda thunk it, the dishwasher.......as a tool....

husq.fleet,

Any other kitchen appliances pull double duty for the man cave?

Blender for pre mix maybe?

Cases in the oven stink, piston pins, bearings and such in the freezer. I sprayed Simple Green on a airbox once and tried the dishwasher, got in trouble for that one. That one measuring cup that had ML on one side was good for fork oil, has a nice lip to pour it in the fork tube also, no funnel needed:thumbsup:
