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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tech question from HVA 400

Husqvarna
AA Class
I´m posting some pictures of my CR 400 -69 and my dirty CR 400 -71 cylinder as an answer to a question from member HVA 400.
There should be a gap between the cylinder and cylinder head.
You are able to see the four pinbolts in the gap when you look from the side of the cylinder.
I hope you can see it on the picture of my dirty racer.

Thanks flor the pictures!
This is the bike the 400 cylinder and a NOS cylinderhead :) will be installed in.
Now it´s a hybrid with a 360 cylinder, it works great but I hope it will be more fun with a real 400 cc

My 400-69

It´s the stock small frontbrake, now I use a wheel with the larger 160 mm brake. On the picture it´s a silverpainted "black" frontfork, but I change to the stock front fork with new springs and a special oilmix, works much better :thumbsup:

Other mods: NJB shocks, newer HVA handlebar, mid 70´s exhaust, Gunnar gasser, skidplate and reinforced frame under the engine, Mikuni carb, aluminium fenders, Stainless steel brake stay, rear brake lever and footpegs. And a couple of spacers and other small parts made in SS an aluminium.
A little newer pictures.
