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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Speedo drive questions

This is on late 70's WR, but I am using an '83 front wheel. Per the part numbers, the drives are the same, but wanted to give full disclosure.

1. Question on the speedo drive - The one I sourced has a hole in the center, just the width of the axle, that appears to get sandwiched between the axle spacer and right axle shoulder. Is this correct, or should the axle spacer pass all the way through the speedo drive? I'm not talking about the disc with pins in it that is pressed in the wheel, I'm talking the drive unit that the cable goes into.

2. I believe these drives had felt material between the drive and the disc with the pins on it. Any idea of the dimensions? I'm thinking it should be a hair bigger than the diameter of the disc with pins on it, with a hole in the middle a hair smaller than the axle?
 
Visiteur, are you saying the felt should be the size of that disc? I understand how the pin disc works, its the drive unit that attaches to the cable that I had a question on- I want to make sure the drive unit part should be sandwiched between the spacers and axle as it mates up with that disc.

You will need to pull off that larger diameter outer spacer and behind it is a smaller diameter spacer sleeve that is used with the speedo drive. The speedo drive is sandwiched between that spacer spacer sleeve and the axle shoulder. That larger diameter spacer is not used when installing the speedo. You will also need the drive pins. looks like at least one is missing.
No felt material is used. I will see if I can get a couple of pictures of the spacers.

IMG_3379 (2).JPG Here is a picture of what the hub looks like after you pull off the outer larger diameter spacer. (Large spacer placed next to the smaller inner spacer in the picture to show the difference) Now you can place the speedo drive in place of where that lager outer spacer was.
