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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm wanting to rebuild my wheels for MX. Could someone point me to the correct heavy duty spoke sets, and Gold excel wheels? I'm not sure what I need. Any input is appreciated. Joel
 
Thanks, Marty. I appreciate the link. I am considering building them myself, but was confused on what to order. I guess I just count the number of spoke holes needed, and order the correct spokes for the diameter of the rim. Any special spoke pattern on these bikes? Thanks again.
 
Take pics of both sides of the front and rear wheels to make replicating the spoke pattern easier. Below are the pages from the parts manual showing the spoke lengths needed.
