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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1989 TC 510 B two 'parallel' restorations

there seems to be a lot of 86-87 shocks on ebay. I have a couple, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same... as the 510 seemed to get more cosmetic changes than anything. Happy too measure for you.
There are plenty of WP forks for ktms of that era, but I think the bottom axle clamps are particulary prone to cracking, so early 90s maybe the way to go.
 
OK so slight delay....so sorry chaps. But have been out riding the 610 and 410's, so keeping up my Husky quotient. I will do a proper report on the resto's soon. Status today is all the suspensions parts are back (some time ago...) from Reactive. They did a cracking job all round but it was far from easy. So now I have two sets of WP's, one ohlins and one WP shock ready to go back in. Engine core parts are with Mark Cook for overhaul but had to ask him to hang on as I totally blew all the resto budget on the suspension and had to wait until my wife had forgiven me.
 
I haven’t given up, just got a bit distracted. The restoration of two 1989 510 TC’s has kind of somehw turned in four. I’ve added a very nice TC and a TE. I’ll keep this thread about the original two though. Bits for the engine are now back and I have a replated barrel, one new Wooster piston and a NOS cylinder head. So engine build should start soon. In the meantime here are some pics of the ‘new’ TC510 which is truly great to ride. 0012A558-250E-4862-A384-7044EA8AA205.jpeg E23A5A4A-31A2-4964-86E7-2042DECE0BE7.jpeg 25F44FF4-0A3E-4284-B2D8-DAADA620E8FA.jpeg 40C1C804-F543-46B2-82BE-A437B5EB043A.jpeg 0012A558-250E-4862-A384-7044EA8AA205.jpeg E23A5A4A-31A2-4964-86E7-2042DECE0BE7.jpeg 25F44FF4-0A3E-4284-B2D8-DAADA620E8FA.jpeg 40C1C804-F543-46B2-82BE-A437B5EB043A.jpeg
