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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'82-'83 175 pistons...long story.

Hello Picklito & Getoverload, I have been reading your posts with great interest, as I am building an '83 175 Husky myself here in Australia, these bikes are difficult to find here, so over the last 18 months I have been buying everything that I need on eBay, I have most of the parts I need now but having trouble finding a standard piston kit, so my question to you guys is, do you know where I can get a standard piston kit(64.75, 16 11 266 - 01). I have been able to get 1st & 2nd o/size from Jef Benz but he has sold out of standard and tells me he is not getting anymore as he has to get quantities of twenty for an order. I am not going to start this project until I have all the parts that I need. Hoping you fella's can help me out. Thanks Brian.
