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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

pro Circuit Rear fender number plate Question

AA Class
Hi, I have purchased a pro Circuit rear fender number plate for my 1984 Husky project. The fender doesn't quite match the rear seat? Is this normal or is the fender for another year? Anyone have experience with these?

Thanks for your help

Mid Ohio Vintage days swapmeet, Husqvarna was the marque of the year and Husky bikes and parts were everywhere, new used and abused.

Looks like the fender I would want for my 1980 CR.... Left coast and I might have to start duking it out for it...LOL...

Great find. I'm jealous.

Like LeftCoast says, It will fit the 80. If you let it go... keep me in mind!!!

I have just bought a pair of NOS M Robert mudguards in yellow for my 1979/80 390 rebuild with the built in rear number plate. Apart from the tank colour (mine is the original black) it should look something like this

Murph,

Can you post up more information on this? I have been looking for the exact same thing in Black.

Thanks , T
 
I appreciate the info on the years the Pro Circuit fender works on. Looks like not a good match for my 1984 project bike.

Thanks

81-82 were the PC uses
Seat base for 83 and 84 were diff than 81-82.
There is a small drop down tab on 83-84 seat base (extends vertical towards ground of about 1-2 inches)
Prevents clearance of the PC fender and too valuable to cut it up.
Did you get my PM with regards to DC ?

Hi T

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. Just got home from a few days camping with the kids. :awww:

I bought them from Dave King, who is one of the main organisers of the Vets MXdN being held at Farleigh Castle in September. He has a load of them, but I am not sure if he has a black set or not. If you go to the MX Trax forum site he is "Know All Curtis". Here is the link if you don't already know of this site: http://forums.mxtrax.co.uk/

You should be able to send him a PM. Hope this helps.

Hi Terry,
I also remember those used on 81-82 Huskys.
Something like that would be worthwhile to contact DC Plastics to see if they would replicate it. I know I would buy a copy and they normally will give you a free spare for the loan of the original.

Someone needs to send one of these to DC Plastics so they can reproduce it. Has anyone tried to use one of the early 80s KTM rear fender/number plates that DC Plastics has? They dont look exactly like the PC fender, but I bet you could make one of those work.
 
The 83 KTM fender looks like the closest fit, but yeh it would be good if someone could drop on off at DC Plastics for them to copy it. I am sure that you would get a couple of free samples for the trouble :)
 
Here is a picture of my 81 CR 430 bike with a D C Plastic M-Robert rear fender . I did have to cut the fender to fit it and it fits great . The bike is going though a remake with a Pro - Circuit Chain Guide and a Asch Pipe , and Pro - Circuit side panels .

That looks really good. The M-Robert fender is close enough for me, some of Phillips new side panels and that bike will look nice.
