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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

not husky...Moto Villa!!

Suprize,

Who are you using for the hard chroming and how much were you quoted?

My mate has a DT360 he is restoring and the forks need doing.

snuck the allen head screws out with some assistance of a "lever". found a small washer on the kick shaft fell off, then the clutch "bearing" dropped a ball into the box :eek: but I saved it with a maggy screwdriver:cheers:20170702_174422.jpg20170702_175635.jpg20170702_180201.jpg . Really neat clutch actuator.

well ...the cases are split and the news is not good:( the old top half of the gears that were out of the oil are pitted and corroded trick which is unfortunate. 3rd and 4th have deepish pits through the hard facing and the main shaft gear is also pooh. the shifting dogs are worn (go on?) and the gear dogs are rounded badly. the main bearings are crunchy but the rod and big end are good:rolleyes: TC. so the hunt for bits begins...ill get some pics up shortly...
 
got a mate who is a gear cutter etc so he his happy to have a look. hoping he can sort the gears and the dogs out ok. just need the main clutch shaft or get that gear repaired as well.

some things to do.

just picked up some work in the mountains on an old gold mine so backburner for all this "stuff". At least I'll make some "coin" to pay for stuff
 
cool... the wedding is over and im back at work. the fork tubes are packaged to post up to the rechromers, ive sent a few emails here and there for parts and ill be looking to get a friendly gearcutter to make a few rusty gears after xmas...it underway again
