• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 think its going to look great. i wasnt wild about the bare spot around the counter before, but after you mocked it up it actually looks really good.
 
You not have some faith in ol Typpy ?

Thanx Just.....

Remember, gonna make a nice aluminum more modern looking case saver.
 
Working today on getting bushings, cyl studs, etc... Plated and on.
Ha! Had real nice set of rear engine mounts plated. I cannot find them!
I've been through every box! Very frustrating cause I don't know where they are!

It's getting there. Front motor mount brackets polished.
Making my own rear motor mounts out of aluminum.
Found set so will use bushings to press in these.

Soon as I get the bushings. I will drill these to press them in.
Plus going to weld that aluminum spacer in so it will be more water proof then in can install a grease fitting in spacer.

Think it's coming along?

As soon as I get this 390 bottom end together. Then I can start on the 125.
If I run the numbers correct? Looks like there is a possibility for me to 144 it or shall I say have a 150.
If not then worse case scenario is I can 134-135 it. Then I will use a rm 125 pipe on it.
