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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chrome tank panels

What do you guys typically do to restore the chrome panel on your tanks? Can they be polished (and if so, can you share your process) or do you usually have them re-plated? Something else??? :confused:

Thanks,
Mark
 
Apparently no one knows. These things happen on forums sometimes. I'm sorry about that.


Maybe someone will share their information or possibly someone in the future will join and answer.
 
Sorry, been traveling. Most guys I know just polish the heck out of them but be careful, the metal can get thin pretty quick. No way to chrome them as paint won't adhere.
 
I've seen the Husky junk tank decals on my friends 79 & they look
good, but there's nothing like the original polish area. If your using
it on a racer they look nice, better then having the paint wore away
like most Husky tanks, but there's a noticable difference if your doing
a restro.

But like Leftcoast leftkicker said watch as the tanks are thinner
than they look :eek:.

i came across the husky junk decals after making the post. that may be an option since i plant to "restore-to-ride" rather than show my bike. thanks for the feedback guys!
