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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky exhaust

Not to sure you are going to find a OEM one unless someone has some lying around, I just use FMF 2stroke silencer packing, but any 2 stroke packing will work.

What's an exhaust absorber? Do you have any further details?

It's Husky's OEM silencer packing. Very simple because it came in a tube form. You just took off the end cap of the silencer, then slid the absorber in and put the end cap back on and your good to go. Look at the parts manual PDF file for say a 1978 250 or 390 CR scroll down the the exhaust pipe and you will see what I mean.
 
Holeshots - hmm, I feel a shaggy dog story coming on... Sorry, my wife won't entertain car or bike stories anymore so you guys'll have to put up with them...

In my short lived and rather unimpressive race career (hobby) I only ever got one holeshot. I was so 'adrenalinned up' (?) that I completely overjumped a 20 foot drop off, just managed to stay on board (safety saddle saved the day) but shortly after lost it over a crest at about 50mph. High sided. Slid down the track on my back for what seemed an eternity. Broken arm. Passed by 9 or so riders. Was so pumped that I got back on board and finished 5th. One race I'll never forget.

I don't do holeshots anymore. I also don't absorb exhausts. That's right, it's all cleared by the time I get there!
