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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Does anyone have suggestions as to where I can source new wheels for my 71 Enduro 360? Both are chrome Raedelli wheels, rear is non valanced and front is valanced with the Leleu hub. I have considered having them straightened and re-chromed but nobody here in Alaska re-chromes anymore.
 
The reason you do not find them much is that they are buttery soft and rust quickly. They came stock on DKW bikes and became square rather quickly.

Yep, trying to stay as close to original as possible though. Funny that Husky went with a valanced rim on the front and non valanced on the back on those old enduros. Even the bike I saw in the museum over in Sweden was like that, and it was pulled right from production and stored, had 5 miles on odometer!

I noticed that on the 360RT I restored a few years back. Maybe the thinking was that rear wheel spin in muddy conditions would dig up the mud and deposit it on the valanced rim where it would stay. As for the front wheels they need the added strength of the valance due to running in to rocks and stuff.

NOS sources for any hard to find OEM parts constantly change as NOS parts suppliers find stuff and then sell them off. My search strategy consists of Googling the OEM part name and number if known and then scrolling through the Images, which is a selection located at the top of the search results page. When you spot an image of your part click on it and a web address will be provided. Many of the images are old and the parts are gone but all you need to find is just one, or in the case of the CEV turn signals four.
