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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What resources do you all use for vintage parts? Pistons, connecting rods, cranks etc. Do you usel ebay and classifieds here or are there other resources that I don't know of?

Thanks,

Matt
 
Have you wandered across a search function where you put in a part # and it searches dealers who have their inventory uploaded somehow? It is integrated in one of the commonly linked sources on here but I will paste in the link I saved which is for a specific rubber grommet maybe not even vintage.

Of course ebay is the best buy you have to know exactly what you want as sellers generally over list in terms of application aka keyword spamming. Most of the warehouse stuff probably has been dealt off five or six years ago and that guy only sells parts sheets on cd now. There is also a lot of stuff on there for more cost than Halls any day of the week price.

Buying parts bikes is another avenue if you can afford the storage space.

Of course then most folks are price concious. My dog chewed up the water pump inpeller a few years back and I got a new one for $10 but I can see the same thing for like $35 from some places so it is kind of a zoo out there.

I didn't know it was there but will definitely use it in the future. I'm actually trying to sell my bike and had it sold and then the guy backed out because he was afaid of not being able to find parts. I've forwarded this info to him hoping it will help.

If I end up keeping it this will still be a valuable resource for me.

Thank you all for your info!!!
