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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

390 crank shaft/ignition question

I have a 390 that I am restoring. The ignition side of crank is pitted and is not going to seal. I could machine and re chrome or find a new or good end. But at the end of day is that really saving any funds that could go in a better direction?

So can I purchase the change over crank end to the 250,430 or 500 one that is 14mm. Then go with a newer ignition style like the Electrex or CR style?
 
Beware the parts book and Husky numbers ****************************************!
They got it wrong.
This was my issue with the 390...... SEE HERE
 
Just as a side note, this information below is WRONG in regards to the 125 stub shafts. The 125 got the same 16 11 659-01 stub shaft as the bigger bikes in '82, Husky just NEVER updated the part number.

I know this because I bought a PVL for my '82 125XC based on this information, and it didnt fit. I tried the Motoplat off of my '82 250XC and it fit perfectly. Luckily I have another bike I can use that PVL on.
