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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No, it’s for 79. I think got it from Chippy’s in Australia. They make several for different years.

I met Vic Krause at mid Ohio. He is also old Maico guy. Many should know him from Sidewinder sprockets.
Think he is doing a 79 too!
If you read old Maico articles in old mags, his name is all over the place. Been texting him pics and he loves the bike.

IIRC, wasn't he the original "Mr. Know-it-all" of Dirt Bike fame?
 
Here is with engine in.

Too bad that you didn’t put the trans side crank seal in backwards!

There went a new seal in trash!

I polished my magura mounts with levers done in red Gunkote. Prob go black cables.

I can always go back and do mounts black. Hard to tell without bars on?

Here is my machined and modified $20 mid Ohio back brake lever.

There are a few hours in this head, taking this down, from a gravel like cast, to polish the fins.
