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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My hats off to you on your bike/build. What an awesome bike! I miss my 80 OR390 even worse now!! I sold it when I was 17 to buy a new CR480 Honda, blew transmission in my truck and there went my new bike money, dang it!!! I've tried to track it down with no luck for years. Hope you get the carb sorted out, I still remember that 390 power, linear!

My experience is 3rd gear on the main shaft seems to get a lot of wear. I thought I could use a Dremel to square up the dogs but it didn't work and had to replace it. I have purchase several transmissions on ebay very cheap (less than $50USD) that had the gears I needed. Let me know if you need gears. I have several that are in good condition and new gears are hard to find.
 
I noticed the stainless steel cap head fastners. Did you cut them to length yourself ? What technique did you use ? Looks great. Thanks for posting.
