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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yes, automotive base coat then clear coat.

Go light on your base primer coats after you scuff your helmet up. This is second helmet I've done and too heavy of primer coverage seems to want to lift primer, even on visor.

That's prepping helmet with wax/grease remover, thorough washing and wiping down helmet with lacquer thinner lightly.

I'm finding to use three light primer coats and good drying between coats.

Thinking they might use a chemical mold releasing agent that is absorbed in the helmet.

Thanx!

Not mine but my sons doing......It is a tribute to dad back in the day with my old number 707.

Mine is the slanted Italian Husky Racing logo top of my back, center between my shoulders.

So,guess we are a branded, die hard Husky family.

I thought guy did a good job.
 
the guy did a nice job..i have no tats but always thought if i did i would get the gunsite logo on shoulder blade or somewhere

You may have needed to apply adhesion promoter(Bulldog). I am sure plastic rules apply to helmets as well.
