• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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, some pix of my nearly finished 175XC, too bad I failed to take pix as I went. Just need a few odds and ends to get it complete. Hoping to see some AHRMA action at Barber later this year

Yes it was a 125, but Husky in US had a 175 kit (piston, head, cylinder & pipe) that was put on when bike was new. I still have the 125 top end, never used. The original owner was a riding buddy. The '83 was a full factory model...
 
How did you refinish you engine jug and head? Is it painted or did you polish it? I have an 82 250 XC I'm working on.
 
Unfinished cyl and head was the trade mark of the 125 line for Husky BITD.
@streetdirt....do you have /use the thin spacer plate that is between the cases /gasket and the cylinder? if so, how thick is it?

Hey Joe, the spacer I have is about 5 cm. Matt, like Joe said, this jug and head along with the original one are unfinished. And I also remember my '79WR & '81CR were both unfinished...
 
I know that they were unfinished, I'm curious as to what methodology you used to get it looking good again? Did you media blast it? Wire brush and polish it? etc...?
 
Hi street2dirt,
You said that you converted a 125 to a 175 with a kit, do you still have the 125 top end parts.
If you still have the top end what do you intend to do with it, I'm looking for 125 parts.
Cheers 2T_vs_4.
 
Hi 2t_vs_4t, I still have the top end parts, they were removed b4 the bike was even started. Never really thought much about selling the stuff in case I messed up the 175 jug I would have spares............
