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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello, my name is greg and am new to the forums. I have been ground-up restoring a 1974 250 mag that was given to me for some pocket change just to get it out of some farmers barn (pretty good deal :) ). he best part is that everything was there (complete) aside from a few small parts. Just lots of refininshing work. Fortunately, I used to live, and my dad does live in Yorktown Indiana, and dad is good friends with Mr. Forest Stahl. He knows these bikes like the back of his hand, and has been a very helpful resource thus far.. He just completely rebuilt the motor, and I must say, It looks AWESOME, and I'm sure it will run as good as it looks. The one problem I have run into is the exhaust. The pipe that was on the bike is beautiful, not a dent and completely rust free. The problem.....the heat shield has been ripped off the pipe. I consider myself darn good o a computer, and have not yet been able to find a single place or reference on the internet as to how to obtain one of these. Does anyone know if someone makes replacements, or has anyone on this forum ever fabricated one? Has anyone else ever run into this problem? I have a feeling that this is going to end up being a home fabricated detail. Any help would be appreciated!


thanks

Greg
