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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

nice to have faaaasssst again. and with fork clamps down a bit on tubes, it goes right straight over series of pot holes, unlike clamps at top of forks causing high speed wobble. but does this make nose dive in corners, hmmm maybe, i think it might
 
Pulling the forks down in the triple clamps slows down the steering which added to straight line stability. Nose dive in the corner would be from
too soft a front end, try putting pre load spacers in the tube.

hmmm this makes me wonder if someone put longer forks. as fully raised clamps corners nice , no nosedive, but highly unstable and highspeed wobble over pot holes, whilst lowered clamps by 1.5 inches and hands off over poy holes without any wobble, but the front slides out more in corners. a tradeoff
 
If you lowered the clamps (raised the forks) by 1.5" you are begging to go over the bars... Please make sure that, at full compression, the front wheel is not firmly bottomed into the fender/lower triple clamp. It will stop the wheel right quick and you'll be Superman!

Also - if you have to run it that way to make it stable... something else is wrong! Just some friendly encouragement to keep looking so you can have a safe bike and healthy body!!
 
needs a spacer washer to fit on top of top bearing so nut is tight to that and not crushing seal. though it would seem tight eanough . original nut gone, found one that threads on , but there many diffrent designs. the original nut had a shoulder to fit inside the seal and be tight on the bearing inner, and the one i found dont have this edge. need to remedy .
