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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi everybody!!!

Just to let you all know that we are working on a fantastic new www.hva-factory.com website that will look and feel similar to our current site, but ultimately be a better user experience - particularly on the new crop of mobile devices! (whatever that means)....

Our current site is over 10 years old now, so is well overdue for an upgrade that I hope will be ready by the Autumn.

Now I am sure some of you are a bit like me and resistant to change - so we wont mess with it too much,

Andy.
 
Andy,

Here is a much needed item, to be reproduced.

Kick start knuckle for 78,79,80 primary kick era engine that goes on 125,250,390's.

Known for the splines to strip in the kicker knuckle, because kicker shaft clamp bolt, hits the recessed area in kicker shaft, while trying to thread bolt in.

This issue causes bolt threads to strip or not get the clamp tight enough. I've had to put the shafts in a lathe to cut recessed area deeper.

Thanks everyone. Orders are coming in thick and fast on the new webshop. I am aware we had a few small technical issues (like some people not being able to login!), but I think they are sorted now....
