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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Auto side cover compatability

Other than the wording "Automatic" on the 1979 390 auto clutch cover, are they the same as the 78 ones ?
I rather like the look of the wording on the side and want to build another motor using this left side cover.

Grouty,
The 79 390 auto cover will not fit the 78 390 auto motor case. In 79 Husky changed the shape of the bottom of the side cover and center case slightly. I think they did this to add a bit more space for increased oil capacity.

I will have a look at my bikes, I thought they changed for the 420 when they also added the crank end oil feed?

Yes, Compared to the 79 & 80 390 auto, the 420 auto center cases changed again and the clutch side cover changed again
