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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all,
Just picked up a 79 cr390 last week. It came with an extra swing arm in excellent condition, so I decided to swap it on. During th swap i came discover 1. The swingarm pivot is frozen (lucky me) and 2. All four bushings on the rear shocks are deteriorated. Can anyone point my in the right direction in getting replacements? Other than those two things the bike is pretty dang sweet.

Beat,
Johnny

The top shock mounting eye should have a spherical bearing and only the bottom mounting eyes have bushings.

Thanks guys! If anyone is wondering i managed to get the pivot bolt out. I used the ol sawzall method.
 
Hi all,

I was just curious if the width of the lower eyelets on these bikes are supposed to be narrower than the mounts on the swingarm. There is a significant amount of space for side to side play. Not sure if this is normal of if i am missing some spacers. Any insight is appreciated.
