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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Magnificent 7

Ok back at it. Bars levers etc...on. Decided to use seat cover where I painted on the red Husqvarna lettering.
Have red magura lever covers coming.
Think it gonna come together real nice.

Ok keep banging my head on these from hanging.

Which one motocross pipe?

Which one XC pipe?

That's what I get for not labeling.

Rest of the 6 pipes hanging, I know which bike they go to!

The CR pipe is the one with the section added in towards the top of the expansion chamber
 
Thanx guys!

Hopefully I got time to blast her up this weekend, wire wheel it and torch it up to kinda give it the natural blue finish/some good ol gear oil!
Guess what they say: Put it in your pipe and smoke it? Well bet it smells like Castrol R!
 
Well that would prob be correct. Cause this bike had original 82 bottom end with an adapter plate and 79 250 cylinder on it!
 
my 83 250 CR pipe had a straight section after it came out of the manifold & turned down, where the XC pipe was more rounded in same area.

Ok that the one I got with tail pipe longer. Thank you. Of course that's the one dent that gonna have to heat and pump air pressure in.
 
Ok guess I am a Dentist today. Here is my set up. But I do safety wire my plugs in. Looks like 45 psi did the trick with oxy/act torch. Was time consuming but they are all out. Object is not to get too carried away and make the dent go outwards. I usually test first one and start with about 35 psi.
