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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wrong Rod?

Forrest modifies a Hot Rods package to make it work and does the entire crank rebuild to ensure it works. He should not need the entire engine.
 
Bill, the rod specs come from those of us that know how is to essentially reverse engineer the connecting rod.
 
I went through this rod thing a two decades ago. I'm having flash backs of chasing around the country for new parts. There was a dealer in Oregon who had pistons and gasket sets back then. There was another guy in Stratford ct. I guess there all gone by now. There was also part lots available too from the long gone older husky dealers too. I'm having the same feelings I had before but now most parts are available with the internet. I wonder what's around in older husky new parts today. One of my buddies had a stock pile of older husky parts, husky auto parts included. I'm not sure what he has left I haven't seen him in a longtime. I would of thought with all the other parts that are offered today that someone would offer new rod kits by now. There's crank kits available for most bikes and new cranks included. The old husqvarnas seem to be left out.
I was into husqvarnas when they weren't cool.
