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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1972 CR400 Spark Arrestor

so a friend wants to ride with me in the woods, but there is no spark arrestor on his bike
it is a 1972 he bought new, it originally had a huge slip on that he hated, so he put one inside and secured it with a sheet metal screw, that popped out years ago, now none of these were spark arrestors
so the question, how do you make this legal, the outside of the tail pipe (stinger) is 2"

A couple of options with varying degrees of cost and maintenance:

First – SPARKY, fully legal with USFS stamp and inexpensive. Used on ebay for +/- $20

Second – SUPERTRAPP, full legal, available for $50 - $80. Will require periodic maintenance.

Third – FISCH, may or may not be useful for a 2-Stroke – Screen will need cleaning often.

Last – The bike in the pic shows a 72, but the pipe looks like the stinger has been modified. The 72 had a much smaller and shorter stinger – which would allow the use of an old school cylinder looking SKYWAY Spark Arrestor / Silencer combo to be fitted.
