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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ML frame tank rubber tie down straps

Does anyone have a good source of rubber Tie down straps with hooks for the tanks on the ML frame bikes?

My 78 390 has a few perished rubber parts and this is one that I havent located a suitable replacement for yet.

The rubber length is 200mm - 8 inches eye to eye. Overall length is 250 mm - 10 inch between hooks.

Doesn’t need to be a replica or NOS.

Great that someone is reproducing them. They look great and I dare say need to sell for heaps to break even. Phil provides a great service to us Husky tragics.
 
The eBay cheapie is not really suitable unfortunately. Too big and even with the hooks removed still too long

I also note that John Lefevre at Vintage Husky carries the correct hold down strap.

slice some rubber off that strap...they are tough..i have used them to hold electrical cable to a 6 Inch 400 metre deep water pipe column.... about a ton and a half of cable
 
I just use a slice of old inner tube. Wrap around the frame and hook onto the tank ..... simples .... and cheap :-)
