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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Updating My 430

ya, it's a 86 430ae frame. I adjusted the angle of the flap with the grinder to get a better fit, and more pivot.
I don't think with these pegs the top flap is even necessary. The bottom of the peg rests on the frame when level
I double checked the angle and it's really close and should work. What do you think?

From underneath you can see the peg now bottoms out on the frame end.

The angle should be OK!

The older pegs used a different tab with a different angle

i see now, the stuff you are doing is just correcting the errors in the ims peg. i was kinda wondering how you were going to adapt those to fit the 87-88 style! the ims peg should go right on your 86, as the 86 auto has the peg design that still used the 70s style and is "easy" to find aftermarket. i would think you should be ok as long as the peg has a good solid surface to sit on to avoid "the sag" with use.

this inspires me to update my 87 pegs

the 87-88 bikes could use an upgrade as well cuz they have tiny pegs, it just requires surgery. if you bolt on the earlier style they will be "off" 45 degrees. thats why i had to weld up a pair for mine. i would like to come up with a better solution.
 
heres the way i welded some up for my 88, they feel 10x better than the stock ones. i basically welded these newer husky pegs to the mounting part of the original peg. would like to come up with a better solution perhaps. they have held up well tho. here you can also see my larger brake toe piece added from a 90s husky, also a very nice feeling mod that was sorta free. the stock one is super tiny

I'm updating my 430. Since the crank seal on transmission side failed, I've decided to update the entire bike. Not only am I rebuilding the entire motor with a new rod, main bearings, a fresh bore, and new piston. I wanted to give the bike a modern feel. I fitted the bike with basically a 2014 front end. The forks are off my 2014 300wr. The front wheel and master are from a 2012 te. The rest came from a 2014 250txc.

And I added a set of IMS pegs

Nice... I'm rebuilding my 80 CR and installing late model USD forks also. I'm glad I'm not the only one because I think it's a great idea.

yes those are pretty cool, need more info! what all is involved and where do you get em from?

The bolt location and angle was a match, but had to cut the corner off the frame and make a plate to weld in for a peg mount/resting point.

Just saw them at a bike shop and made it work

I swear you've looked into my basement some how lol. I have done the exact samething to my 86 auto you are doing to yours at the moment. The peg situation I think is one of the more trickier thing's to do but you and I have done our pegs the same way and think it will hold up alright. I've also drilled holes in my pegs so the stock springs will work with them aswell.
