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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Working on the rim pile! Uggg!

They have been sent out and came back from getting old anodizing stripped.

Now I'm working on sanding them down and polishing. Then they go back to anodizer.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Could do bright gold rims on 390 and 125?

Versus stock?

goes well with the black im thinking.....Picklito's shop is like that cos the "in laws" were coming to visit and the wife said "clean that mess up or else!!:thumbsup:

ill bet it looks like all our sheds when they go home....( i hope:o )
 
Let me get a lil creative on a set of anodized rims where I used the wrong aluminum welding rod and the area I welded came out dark in the anodizing.

Wife going to be gone most of day so I might need to borrow her oven.
 
Success! Had to angle them in oven but it worked and I'm in the clear!

Those aren't decals, those Husky emblems are polished into the rim, then a band of satin black gun kote baked on.

Might stick these on the 390? Will look good with new shiny spokes and new rubber on them.
I have some nickel paint come that has the hue of good in it. Might try that on the brake plates.
