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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Great advice! I got ahold of spare coil my buddy had and swapped it out. She revs like she used to! Saved me the headache of trying to replace the entire ignition.

Now... Anybody have any advise for a new clutch? I've checked with Barnett, but can't seem to find anything on their website about a replacement for this year and model.
 
Take out the clutch plates and measure the stack with a caliper. If they measure less than 26mm, replace the material plates. If not maybe your springs are weak. You could try an additional washer and see if that helps. Clutch work is easy in that you can lay the bike on it's side, pop the clutch cover off and do the work. Also, make sure there is at least 9-13mm of free play on the clutch arm.
 
I need some advise on replacement shocks... It has a pair of Boge Mulholland 13'' shocks as of now, but they are way worn out, and I am havng a hard time finding/knowing what kind of springs I need for replacement. I only use the bike for trail/woods riding, so I do not need anything too fancy. Any other ideas on a well made shock thats not going to cost me an arm and a leg?
 
keep posting up...great looking bike! also I can totally relate to the thought 'just gonna wipe her downa bit & tighten a few bolts'....next think a total rebuild!!!

on my '72 450 I used progressive shocks model # 412-4001B.... I am happy with their performance..
