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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Crank Shaft Service

Anyone have for suggestion on where to send my 430 crank for service? Looking to get a rod pressed, trued, and balanced.

Thanks
 
I've sent several early 70's cranks to John at Vintage Husky. I had some trued and others had a rod or stub shaft replaced. No issues ever came up. I did check out Crank Works in Az but never sent them anything due to their high price but they struck me as an outfit that knew their way around crankshafts. There used to be plenty of guys on here that had experience with 430 crank service but not so much anymore.

Thanks, I checked with them on Friday they do seem a bit pricey with a 4-5 week turn around, but like you said, sounds like they know their Stuff.
Plus they are also one of the only shops that are welding and balancing!! Going to check with Halls on Tuesday before I decide.
