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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help replacing lower Ohlins shock bushing please.

Had a left lower shock bushing go into melt down and disintegrate while bike was idling to warm up. I assume it was the original rubber bushing. So I have a correct year on order (1979) and was wondering if there is anything special I need to swap it out? Will a center stand and just removing the bolt and old bushing (what’s left) and sliding shock out all I need to do? Thanks for any advice.

Replace the whole lower rod end (M10 x 1mm pitch) with a spherical bearing type from: www.hva-factory.com

The advantage is that you get to choose from 6 lengths and that the shock shaft will be under way less stress as the bearing will self align - giving everything a much easier time****************************************
