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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

86 front brake line

Trying to find someone to make me a front brake line for a 86 Husky caliper with a Honda MC. The Brembo uses a 10x1.00mm thread straight fitting instead of a banjo style. Does it seal internally or with a copper crush washer? I see no machined landing for the copper washer.
 
it just screws into the master and bottoms out. i paid around $90.00 for a NOS brake line in the mid 1990's.
 
The Brembo caliper seals with copper washers. Usual fitment is a banjo. Be careful of the length of bolt you use as the thread depth is shallower than your usual Japanese ones. If you use a 8mm thick banjo fitting us an 18mm long bolt (measured length us under the hex to the end).
If you use a straight fitting the use a male/male adaptor and a brake hose with a swivel female end. That will make it easier to fit.
 
This is the 86 single pot brembo with the straight thread. No banjo at the caliper. Does anyone know anybody making lines with this fitting? Or should I machine a smooth landing for a crush washer to seal properly? I know it's a lot of work for such a crappy brake, but it is what it is. Unless someone has figured out how to put a dual piston caliper on the 86?
 
Go to Venhill USA and have them make you one. They do all my custom cables and lines. Plus tons of colors.

Cheaper than other cable manufactures as well.
 
I checked Venhill's site and I didn't see the straight fitting for the caliper. Checked coremoto as well. No luck. I'll call Venhill tomorrow to double check though. Has anyone had a line made for the 86 caliper somewhere else?
