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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

search "husqvarna prototypes" on this section...its been posted before. im just recycling...:excuseme:
never get tired of hearing about them tho! new pics pop up every once in awhile..
 
So you can see by the picks that my bike is almost done. My problem now is that while on the side stand, it would leak trans fluid. I thought the leak was from around the gasket. resealed and still leaked. Then I saw that it was coming from the weep hole behind the water pump seal. The cover is a newer one with 2 bearings for the water pump. I had put new bearings in with the sealed bearing going in first and the open one by the crank. Did I have the bearings in wrong? Do I need to silicone the sealed bearing? anyone have this problem?
 
my scoot with a new cover leaks slightly when riding but it doesn't leak on the stand.? may bee reseal the bearings with a little Loctite?

(who wants to pull that flaming cover off AGAIN!!)
 
so you are using a universal silencer? how does it fit?
bike is looking great, it will really come together with some decals..
 
Yes, universal FMF. I used a small piece of pipe that comes with it. I cut it to length and butt it to the pipe. Used a radiator hose to couple them. They didn't have anything that fit over the pipe.
 
Now that the sun is stronger I will try it. I tried in january but the sun wouldn't stay out all day.
