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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New induction system ready...

Does it have a spacer to space the reeds out of the reed box towards the carb so it can not be restricted to free flow? I install a spacer the thickness of 3/16" to 1/4". You lose a tad in crankcase pressure but you gain in free flow. Test this on a dyno if you have access.

Your improving the reed flow but we still have a restriction in the breathing after the reeds. The flow is confused.

What about adding a small 12v muffin fan in the air box to pressurized it? This would work on 2t & 4t? There's room in the '83 & '84 air box lid?

For the newer bikes a variable coil to control the cfm's can operate from the throttle cable?

It's all about the chee? The CHEE = FLOW= free horsepower.

Ram forced induction.
 
The reed block contains a lot more reed volume than the standard block - so this is not an issue here. When the cylinder is off the bike we re-dress all of the ports to improve the flow through the cylinder usually before re-boring (or nikasil on the 300s)...

The prices will be calculated depending on how long the adaptors take to make and will be on the webshop as they are completed.

Andy.
 
Andy, Flow is our friend.

Can these new triple reed blocks be fitted to the early rectangular 250 intakes? We need a adapter plate with the smaller 38mm mikuni carb adapter?

What is involved into changing my 84 air cooled to a 300?
 
search these pages young bill and you shall find the force.... or the story on Andy's conversion...(got to stop watching Star Wars reruns:banghead: )
 
I'm thinking. While I'm saving for a 500cr husqvarna of course. It's been my dream bike ever since I had the 390/400/430's I always wanted to twist a 500cc.
 
i had a 430 liquid cooled withe bottom of the transfer ports knife edged talk about flow :eek:
ran like a 500
yes flow is our friend :D
 
:D Where in England is there that much land for a track?? did I see Big Ben in the background?? he must have gone past London at some stage....

great Clip, great bike, nice track!
 
The reason you cannot see the river Thames is that the bike belongs to Steve Tassanari the owner of V-Force (in the USA) and the track is in his back yard****************************************

Steve makes the reeds especially for us and we make the inlet manifolds to suit. 500cc versions are on the milling machine at present....
