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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
wonder where we can get these sweet footpegs...

Think I spotted some of those on ebay a few weeks ago. Were not cheap, as I recall.

Have seen those, and then HVA has some seriously aggressive looking ones if I remember right as well.

I was one of those folks that sounded in on one of the chat groups too. Spotted reference to a fellow stating it had been several weeks since he placed an order, and no email replies or parts.
I however, may have just had some luck with them. I got very concerned after reading the other stuff, and litterally even started a forced communication in Paypal, where I paid. Now, so far, they haven't replied in Paypal yet, but I did just get an email reply from the originaly first email I sent HVA through their own website message system.
Was a pretty brief. Somebody named Juan is replying stating my order shipped yesterday, via DHL, and he gave me the tracking number. Which does show some package inbound to atleast my city. Doesn't show my address, oddly, but the city is probably close enough for the package details at this stage. Funny thing is, on their site, it says once you place an order, that they will promptly send you an invoice for the shipping cost. I never received any shipping cost invoice. So, maybe they felt bad with how much the currency exchange rates killed me on the total price.
But, is looking up so far. I splurged, and bought an NOS gas tank, and side panel for my '85 500 project, which was big big bucks, for my budget.

Those pegs they stopped using somewhere around 1984 have a rounded end and are less hazardous to the legs when walking by, tying the bike in the truck etc I think I will evaluate sweet differently. Also some of the new footpeg design is so that the mud and crud pushes through. That design with the two holes might not be as good some other designs for that. Are there kick starter interference issues with some of the new more modern designs?

I know Uptite, if that's how it's spelled, made some trick pegs, and may be redoing them now or shortly, as well.
Regarding HVA, my concerns were for no reason. I mean, I got paranoid with delayed and somewhat lacking communication from them up front. But the NOS parts arrived this morning. If I wouldn't have spotted the group thread of the other fellow having trouble, and then read the other stuff on the net, I would have been fine. As the parts actually shipped and arrived extremely quickly. Apparently, they are behind on the communication side of things, and even my account on their website still just says pending next to my order. No signs there, that it even was filled, and or shipped. Yet, again, I have the NOS gas tank and side panel right here next to me. So no worries on the little side topic of HVA issues.
Those pegs do look trick, I must admit. We should start a vintage peg thread, to get all the pics of different kinds together. Might assist in knowing what a person needs or wants for a given bike, and what was/is available.

Aldo available from DC Plastics.
No they won't. The platform relative to the angle of the bolt hole is different. I made the mistake of buying some '86 pegs for my '82 and hence learned the difference. Fortunately only spent $25 bucks and sold them for the same.
HVA's ad specifically says:Fit almost all bikes from 1966-1984..not 72-74 but 75 with slight mod.
Will not fit the 85 / 86 bikes.
You might try giving husky junk.com a call, they also look very nice:New IMS Husqvarna foot pegs. Made by IMS, identical to the modern bike pegs available for most new motocross bikes. These were specifically made to fit all models of Husqvarna cycles from 1966-1989. Bolt right on in minutes with no modifications necessary. These units are made using polished stainless steel for durability and performance. Large foot print design with aggressive cleating. Your boots will not slip off these pegs, that's guaranteed.
Presumably, they made multiple models to fit all the era's up to 1989.

Hi Guys.
We designed the footrests to fit the 83/84 bikes and it is great that they fit a lot of other years too. We may get around to doing some Evo footrests, but at the moment, I am looking at a stack of 170 Clutch covers that need machining and there are more crucial parts that we need to re-stock that have priority over later footrests. Regarding shipping, we never make money from shipping and we only send by a premium courrier abroad because of people moaning about service and lost shipments. I know I am tempting fate here, but since going over exclusively to DHL - they have never let us down. Generally, we ship internationally every day and 99 percent of shipments arrive in 2-4 days regardless of location. We do however go on holiday occasionally and also race abroad and go searching the world for new stock - so forgive me if you are unlucky enough to catch us when we are away.
We are waiting for 150 footrest sets to be completed as stock of these is very low at the moment. We De-tag items from the site (so you cannot see them) when they are not available. Generally Everything on the site is in stock unless you are very unlucky - and somebody has beat you to it!
Hope this helps.

As an aside ... I have just fitted a set of those HVA pegs to my 78 ML framed 390. Andy instructed me that they would require a small mod to fit as they were intended for the later models.
The mod took me less than 30 mins, and half of that was polishing the peg so it looked just as good as it did before.
The fit is perfect, and the fitting kit was spot on too.
