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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This is the case I will be using on my '82 A/C 430 engine. It all fits but it's a late 4T case, after they moved the water pump. I'm not sure of the date but my question is before I clean it up is.....
is it magnesium?

Nice!
When I bought my -82 430 it came with a water cooled left side engine cover on it. Funny thing about that is that this cover did have all the water pump fittings and assembly points, but the axle hole etc were unmachined (or if made during casting blanked off in that process). Makes me wonder if Husqvarna offered (at some point in time during the eighties) the same cover spare part for both a/c and w/c engines, but with additional machining/hose fitiings for the w/c versions. It does of course also have the additional bolt hole casting (for attachment to the engine casing).

My bike obviously also came with a cracked a/c left side casing as a 'spare part' .....:)

I now have some extra clutch side covers as spares so I will replace the hybrid one on the engine.

thanks and have a nice weekend
