• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Slowly firing back up. Just finished these this am. Last pair of shocks.

1 chipped up pretty good so gonna have to repaint it.

Well one engine is half assembled. Looks like for some reason my shift forks are not sliding all way on to the gears!
Hmmmmm?
They say 12 on them.
Looking at parts list. There are ones stamped 11's on them.
So somewhere along the lines gonna have to find 3.
Hall's is looking currently through their old stuff.

If them engines turn blue that means, what?

Answer: They not getting enough oxygen!

Try it! Put big Zip loc bag over your head and see if you run out of oxygen and turn blue!

Those engines just plain look great. I know how much time you spent but is was worth it.

Talking to old vintage formula car owners at the Austin GP track say they keep there real old magnesium transmission cases new and preserved
by keeping air and moisture away from this metal. Darin these not only look great but will last a lifetime.

Did you put the KBS diamond clear on the 250 case ? What black did you use on the other ? Then clear on it?
