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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I know they should be 8mm on my 1980 390CR but the guy I bought it from had 6mm in then, nice!
The confusing part for me is the hub holds the 6 lose but won't take the 8. The sprocket will. I don't believe it was filled in with weld or a threaded insert put in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

No threads in the holes. No on the re-paint or powder coating either. I see your point on if they were it would make the holes tight but the holes are ovaled some from the small bolts going forward and backward. Like it was a good tight 6 before being worn.
 
definetly 8s mate 6s wouldnt be strong enough, it wouldnt make the hole smaller,just run a 8mm bit through and clean hole up and they will be fine
 
Some hubs must have smaller than 8 mm bolt holes as generally before there were countersunk holes in the sprocket the sprockets had two sizes of holes. The smaller ones probably were for 6 mm. Can't say I have ever seen a hub with that size hole however somehow perhaps you have one.
