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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanx guys! Got sprockets from Spacely Sprockets. You know, where George Jetson works!

No them PBI sprockets.

Was hoping those Magura levers would anodize good. So was a test. I want to do some others now.

I do not have swing arm back from plater, to locate/fasten my rear mud flap. This gets attached to the air box I made. I can't finish it so I know where to permantly locate it.

I'm gonna use a thin piece vinyl, used as a rub block on swing arm so it don't get all rubbed up.

This is going to keep a lot of stuff off engine.

Just wanted you to see it. I had to tape it on for now.

Here is new back modern fender.

I have gone through a several trying to get them to fit the contour of the rear seat/cover. Plus be the right contour and land at the correct angle.

The ones I all got all looked like they would work. But by the time you would need to trim excess off then they would be too short.

Even the way this one is designed, it tapers in to the seat pan and looks like a factory fit.

So landed one and hit pay dirt! Perfect and gives bike a sleek modern look.

Thanx Steve!

You know, just had that conversation yesterday with my son. Every fall they have a couple Team Harescrambles we race together as a Team. We always run the Father and Son Team. You can run any bike you want in the class as long as we switch off every lap. So I told him maybe we should run both 250's.

I also have something to do on my bucket list. I'm going to load all the bikes up plus bring both our new Husky's.
I have commitments from old friends, that we plan on a ride weekend. All we have to to is brush hog our old motocross track, as kids. Everything is still there. Jumps creek jumps, whoops, etc... There will be 6 of us, as we rode and raced as kids. Should be a fun weekend. But that is a plan/goal I have.

It's a Husky! A Husky! I know it cause it says it on the bar pad!

Worked this weekend on getting the right combination of fenders cut and fitted. Had one really look bad on rear, but by time I got it to fit seat pan, it was too short and wrong angle.

Anyone interested in some cheap cut up fenders!

Good that I can return the ones that weren't cut!

Also, got bracket made and tapped into triples to mount the number plate. Lil frustrating trying to get new stuff to fit on the old, with the correct clearances, contours and angles.

Got the forks all assembled.

Hand guards are fitted and got the graphics on order for them.

Now I am working on whole bike graphics. :thumbsup:

Got the front fender, rear fender, number plate, etc.... Figured out.

Think I have the graphics figure out for the side panels, as well.

Tonight, going to start working on some boot frame guards so don't rub all the paint off the frame:

I have a couple of ideas for these.

Fenders Are UFO brand.

Rear is 04 Suzuki RM 125 Fender.

Front is 14 Kawasaki KXF 250-450

On the rear, there is a square area pre drilled hole, in the mounting area of Suzuki rear fender. It is used for an insert to be pressed in.

You cut straight across fender. Side to side right behind this flat square area. The existing hole almost lines up.

I use a piece of masking tape as a straight edge from side to side for my cut.

Here is a photo illustration.
