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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

That's fantastic. Great job there... but I'd say you're being a little stingy with pics of the 430!!

Remember - we're 430 freaks. We don't need much. If you put air in your tires... we want before and after pics!

I would like to do a head similarly, any advice other than .045 being optimal (for race gas only?)?
And maybe a 2 degree squish angle?

I machined my squish angle to 2 degrees.
I also machined the combustian chamber to match the I.D. of the bore.
Ask Picklito about fuel quality with a .045 sqish dim. as i have not put this head to the test yet.

Metalic Cobalt Blue hub,Sidewinder sprocket,titanium bearing spacer,140-70-17 michelin anakee tire shaved and paddled and ceramic bearings on its way to Woody`s wheel works for polished S.S. spokes and 3.5" wide gold anodized rim.

The rim will also be seal so no tube.

You keep teasing up with these itty bitty pics, we want some full on shots of the whole bike...come on now quite being hard to get!

You need to get some real carbon fiber on this bike, maybe a custom airbox, handle bars, or a carbon fiber gas tank so you don't ding up that nice original.

Anyway, beautiful work!
 
Thanks Adam,by the end of this month miss Husky will be up and running.

Not fully complete as i want it but it should run like a raped date.

My custom down pipe will be here middle of next week!
 
Hi instead of having the cilinder resleeved i have mine renewed whit a layer of nicasil, a company in Holland is specialised in this work and they can get the layer up to 0.5mm wall thikness : www.powerseal.nl , the benefit you have whit this solution is that you can run always the same bore diameter, on my fourstroke is it alreaddy the 4th season, and i now guys who have 2 stroke cilinders let done and drive allready 2 seasons and no worn out!
succes, cheers
