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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I need new brakes, but on a tight budget, so I'm looking doing a reline instead of buying new. Has any other member done this and how did well did it work out? Info on materials and installation procedures would be greatly appreciated.....thanks in advance
 
Usually the cheapo way is to either pad the brake cam or the face of the shoe which contacts the brake cam. I have padded the shoes once but the guys who rode them back then talk about wrapping the cam. You probably should use rivets if you do it yourself not just glue. I think copper rivets were what they sold me for my vintage bmw but I doubt any manufacturer sells linings and rivets now. Of course if you went on a mud run and didn't clean and air your wheels afterwards they can come un glued and what I suggest won't work. Usually there is friction material left but the lever isn't pointing in a good direction any more.
