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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Toe shifter to tight for boots on 72

Hi
What can I do to make more room for my boots to get under the toe shifter on my 1972 250WR ?

Thanks
Charlie
 
remove the bolt that clamps it to the shaft
remove the shifter and index it to a higher position
try a few to find the one that suits you
 
I will give that a try, picked up some MX boots. They are harder to get under the toe shifter, would be nice to have a wider pad on the brake pedal too. Back in the 70's we wore lineman boots for foot ware.

Thanks
Charlie
 
lineman boots :eek:
been there done that
my first real boots were Thorston Hallman boots in 1972
was doing a wheelie and the boots were NOT broke in missed the brake pedal and looped it at over 50mph
remember watching my bike get beat up bringing tears toy eyes, these days I would surf it to keep me from getting beat up ;)
