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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Will a 1983 Husqvarna 250 rear wheel fit on a 1982 Husqvarna 250? I believe that they used different backing plates, but I'm not sure if the brake shoes are the same. Axles the same?


I've got a 1981 hub on it right now and want to change to the newer non conical hub. Looks stronger to me and I've got a new set of spokes sitting here for a 1982 model.
 
I can switch wheels, the whole wheel with no problem. The cr backing plate is different I kind of think the shoes are narrower but you still can use the wheel so long as it isn't worn too much in the drum area. I wouldn't be too optomistic about lacing the rim from the conical hub to the non conical hub. It might work out but the angles of the holes might be different. Cr excluded 84-85 or so the shoe contact area got thinner and more of a stepped fit between the hub and backing plate. There are some backing plates so one can use up to 1988 wheels on what you have.

I have a spare for my auto, as we often have to run on trials tyres at the rear on military or forestry ground and you can't find 17" trials tyres. The spare is a two sided from an unknown donor not conical and its a straight swap over
 
In 81 the 430 got the new flanged hub, but some "smaller" models still got the older conical. So he could have an 81 conical hub. In 82 all got the new hub.
