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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ohlins ITC blue

Lada 'Bosfor' Blue is the correct colour....

Any good paint shop and even Halfords can mix you a spray can.

Or - we have some in stock!

So Darrin, how did you make out with the shocks I sent you?
Click to expand...

They are a ok. I had to get a valve, new tubes and will order the longer shafts, but got the aluminum spacers shaved down.

I had to get one reservoir and it looks great, so looks like I will get one more to match.

I was not able to do anything in the shop this winter due to extreme low temps/ snow. I am several months behind. Now looks like temps are still not cooperating.

Did u get your rebuilt?
 
old ford motor blue....except for the resevoir bodies. they were an anodized blue. if they look poopy just paint as well and slap the ITC sticker on em and theuy pass the 5 ft rule
 
Darrin, my shop was too cold and I moved my engines and forks into the furnace room to setup a warmish work area. I have them holding up the rear of the 84 250WR. It balances out nicely with the XC forks it has on it
 
I was in the same boat , this winter was brutally cold and put me about. 3mos behind .

Glad they are working out for you.
 
That is funny, even in Oregon there were enough cold stretches that I couldnt keep the garage warm enough to work in. I did have the shocks redone and now need to put it back together so I can use those nice bolts that dartyppyt gave me last fall !!
