• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gold or Black?

If black then I need to get a set polished up and get them up to shee Kago, for anodizing.

Gold is appropriate but you still have the choice of doing whatever you desire. You are well known for jumping outside the box!

Thanx Jim!

I've got 3 more sets of rims that I welded and sent out for anodize stripping. I just have to sand them up, polish them and send up to Shee Kago. I may do a set in black. I might stick them on the wee ninety at some point. But plan now is to go off of you guys' suggestion.
 
Here you go? This is bright gold wheel off of maico.

Noticed that the Maico hub is cracked! Ugggg!

Ahhh yes, the magnesium Maico hubs, my 79 250MC was the same so I replaced it with a aluminium hub.
That gold does look great against the rest of the bike!

I see that VMX has new hubs. That's what I'll go after. The money pits!

That's will prob work out good because I'll borrow rims off the Maico, then polish a set of mine up for the maico.

If can't find a aluminum swingarm for it. I will chrome the Maico rear one. Plus bling heck out of it with polished billet parts.

I got a set of fox shoxs for it.
 
I have the JB Weld repairs on my 390WR centercases now treated with KBS Rust Seal so that lower end can be assembled and used as a stunt dummy for the frame repairs I have to do on it's new home. Starting to get excited about it now.
