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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

probably stupid question- 1977 WR 360 head

I took the head off the 360 to put the head on that is bored for a compression release. The heads are identical (good). When you look at the underside of the head, the casting isn't symmetrical in that there is a "u" shaped casting on one side of the head and the other side its just straight. Should the "u" be on one side or the other? Is there a front/back to the head? The service manual doesn't say anything, so I'm assuming it doesn't matter. Just thought I'd check.

Thanks-

John

Thanks. I thought it might be a manufacturing thing. It looks symmetrical, and being that the bike was 39 years old when I got it, I had no idea if the previous owners had oriented it right. So, I put the other head back on with the compression release off to the left side, rather than the right. Its easier to get at without the pipe there, although I have to reach across the bike to open it.
