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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Speedcowboy,
You need a 83-85 drum brake front wheel, for leading link brakes -as Husky changed the hub in 83.
I've got a 81 wheel & a 84 brake set up & they don't fit.

Speedcowboy,
The Hubs are different, brake hubs are different too, here's some pictures to explain better. I just changed my 85 510 with a 81 250CR
front end to a 83-85 leading link brake style. Axle, front brake cable, brake link are not different between brake types , so you can use
the 1981 you already have. Last picture shows what the later style wheel looks like.

I thought that one (often called 1982 1/2) had the twin leading shoe to start with. At least the one I have came that way.

The twin leading shoe ones and the later disc ones seem to come with dated Nordisk rims while the prior don't. I can't say if the holes for the spokes are drilled the same. They are both conical hubs with 36 spokes though different.
 
I grabbed some new lining we tested on a brake dyno that they were tossing out before I retired after a test. I put some on a disc brake on a tractor. It works. Next ill epoxy some to the brake shoes. It's the green gripper at McMaster Carr. This lining took the highest stopping mass we tested. It was like over 12k on one set of pads. Then go x2 for twin calipers on the dyne.
 
Yes rims are the same cowboy, find a tls or dls complete hub assembly and spokes for this same hub and your all set. good luck on your up grade.
 
i recall all the 82.5 bikes ive seen had a sls factory . maybe it depends on build date or someone swapped it back in the 80s as it would have been easy to do .
ugh getting a hub and spokes sounds like a lot more work and postage $ to get to NZ
 
Hello Speedcowboy
you can put a 83 brake plate clear and finish so that they fit into a 82 hub.
You have to do this on a milling machine. You just have to mill off the 2 edges in a slight bevel and reduce a little bit the outer diameter..
You can see the modification here in the pics

Sorry silverstreak I can´t understand this idiom.
What to flood my boat ? Please write directly what you mean ( i am a older man and my school time was a long time ago,
where i had learned the english language. I am not a english native speaker ).

If it should mean that the brake plate not absolutely seals, then yes,
no brake plate seals absolutely (and it would be wrong to do so).
 
no nothing that serious . just an opinion that it is too shiny / looks out of place on a vintage bike / an original one would make me smile more than that one
 
The next product from Gerd for the Huskys will be a clutch cover for aircooled and liquidcooled husky engines.
That the prototyp in producing ( some options in this picture are not maked, how oil control screw, vent, use sockets and seals for Kickstarter
and gear shaft ... that´s first pics on milling machine ).

Or you buy a new CNC milled TLS brake plate fitting for the 81 and 82 hub ... ;)

I can't read German but I see three brake plates on the site you linked.
Will any of these work to make the rear brake (not cr) dual leading shoe? I am guessing 1982, 1983 in that area before they changed the way the backing plate matches to the hub. I seem to recall the brake plates for my 420 auto seemed the same front/rear.
