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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not what many would call a "resto" but I'm satisfied. Been working on this baby for many months. Thought I would post some pics I took along the way. I was able to get it dressed in some CR trim this weekend, hopefully in the next few weeks I will get the WR trim back on and all wired up and a few other little items that need attention.IMAG0026.JPGIMAG0024.JPGIMAG0020.JPGIMAG0031.JPGoverall.JPGIMAG0033.JPG

Is a head gasket used on these air cooled motors, or does the cylinder head sit right on the lip of the cast iron liner? I don't see a head gasket listed on the parts diagram. I bought a motor in pieces, so I didn't get to take it apart initially and look for myself.
 
Thanks for the compliments, and thank you Cafe Husky and all who participate.

No head gasket is shown for 83 125's
