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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Going to probably need top end rebuild. Compression getting low. Pretty sure on original bore

Prob my two best choices from Nashville? Would be to ship cylinder to Hall's in Springfield Illinois or Forest Stahl @ Advance Tool and Die, Yorktown Indiana. They will bore and get piston for you.
I've used other places but I've had some come back with bore crooked and the piston seized.
Power seal in Pennsylvania does good work as well.
 
I would agree, the only two cylinders I had trouble with were with folks that have not done Huskies. Forrest would be great to use. Also Rick Horvart in Ohio is also a good choice.
They also would know the best clearance to bore your cylinder too. Rick has available at certain times pre bored cylinders that are ready to ship on exchange basis to save time.
Both would have all the other parts you may need.
