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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1983 aluminum tank restoration

All here settle down. Some are for show and some are for go. It is that simple. I do think the radius of the top of the chrome sticker is off though even from eyeball standard. Maybe a conformity issue and cannot replicate the bend on the tank so it is a compromise. When welding back up, grind away all the old weld offf the backbone tunnel as there is so much (30 plus years) of petroleum goop and such that works into the old seam weld as it is done from outside and fuel was on inside. reduces ammount of smoke when welding and a cleaner weld too. Shimm with wood (2x4) in backbone bottom to help prevent it "squeezing in"

Good luck and have fun and all be nice. Am working on some 83 water cooler prototype tanks (front scalloped out to clear radiators)
