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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking to have my 430 gone thru as i bore and hone the top end.

Give me your experiences, who is the best?

U.S. Builders only please.

Thanks guys!
 
I'd 2nd George or also try Ron Bishop here in SD at 760-747-1360. Both long time Husky guys but George will do race mods (if that's important). Can't go wrong with either but if they're backed up you can use John at Vintage Husky (also SD) at 760-744-8052

I don't think George is quite ready to hang up the spurs just yet. Even when he does I bet he will still be a part of the landscape. My vote is for George.
 
On similar but slightly different topic, does anyone know any good Husky shops in Vegas area? I'm heading down there in a month or so for a weekend holiday, and it would be cool to drop into a shop that actually carries Husky's (mine didn't just got it in for me).

Cheers Pete
 
Putting a twist on your question which as a do it yourself guy I can't answer. So you want to split the cases and change that seal on the drive side and probably want to change out the bearing the chain sprocket rides next to. How many bronze sleeves do you want them to install to get the bearing interference fit into the case back to what it originally was? Unfortunately a lot of the problems are in the magnesium itself. How much wear on gears is tolerable before you want one changed out. Look at the splines on the sprocket shaft, do you want a new one of them? What about the gear on the back of the clutch basket which has a tendency to go feather edged, how fussy are you going to be about replacing it or do you want to upgrade all three starter gears to the later version? Maybe you don't want to ask or concern yourself with these type things but just seems you have to tell the shop something.
