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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I rode only in my subdivision. The rear brake works surprisingly well, I can lock the wheel even on pavement. The rekluse makes the clutch redundant but I still use it anyway. Together, they have a nice feel. I can't wait to try it on a trail.

Nice! Did you get your paint ?
 
I remembered that I did an ignition cover on the red 82 before converting it to fox bike.

Also, polished up the front motor mounts and put them on.

Here ya go!

Milk Truck carb......... Bah Rump Ah Bum Bum!

Logo is polished into the bowl. I got few hours in that one but nothing I did was looking good for the bike. Then bing! It hit me!

4 carbs and two more to go and they all started out like the one on the right. So, long process but I think worth it.

geez...the white vm is totally insane...super sharp!
 
The glory of rebuilds.

So there were no 125 pistons for a 1 over bore. So we ordered one from Germany. Wossner had to make a batch.
So the piston came in on the last available bore. Think somebody screwed up....... I think we found a wiseco out there instead. Cause I don't want to go last bore with no more options.
 
? I'm going through a large pile of brake shoes.

I've got 25mm ones and 30mm ones.

I'm assuming 30mm is rear and 25mm front.

But I think the XC's/ WR's had different rears?
 
That's just part of the pile.

Most of them, the pads are hardly worn.

Ones on the left are how they clean up.

Looks like my XC 125, all 4 are 30mm width.

Looks like all my 30mm width ones go the whole width of the fixed dowel in brake plate.

The 25mm shoes are stepped to match the stepped fixed dowel in brake plate.
