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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Huskydoggg,

That ad got me too. To the tune of 2 1/2 bills. I have always had a soft spot for trick hand-welded components though.

Proform pipes look interesting too.

Very nice pipe and yes the hand welds really do it for me also. I may need one for my 82 430XC? Does anyone know anything about the proform pipes? Do they all allow you to mount the stock silencer? Thanks. Mike
 
These are sold /made by Vintage Iron in Orange County California... look in the vintage parts thread and you will find her in there as well!!!

Steve,

Retro Rocket from Vintage Iron as HuskyT said. (Long turn-a-round - somewhat frustrating process).

Proform from AMSRacing.com. 480-610-4574. No expirence w/ these guys.

highdez,

Scoot is out in the Mancave. Bike is "home-made". I've been working on it for about year now. Remove, repair, refinish one component at a time. Slow, but fun!!! Getting very close to reassembly.

Not steetable yet. Not anything yet. Currently, alot of restored components waiting on frame sand blasting and powder.

In TX street legal means: moto insurance, safety inspection (front and rear lights, brake light, horn and mirror), take the appropriate paperwork to the registrars office pay their registration fees and walk out w/ plate.
 
From Comet Karts out of Indiana. A couple bucks apeice. They are anodized conical aluminum washers. Pricey but cool bling
 
Hey Schim.
What do you think about the quality and fit of the retro rocket pipe?

I am thinking of getting a pipe and trying to decide V.I. or pro-form.

Can you tell me the distance from the frame mount hole (the one that attaches to the dual stud rubber mount) and the end of the stinger?

And is the stinger O.D. 1 1/4" ?

Thanks,
Darrell
 
Highdez,
Sorry for leaving you hanging. Stinger OD is 1 3/8". From mounting tab to end of stinger is 13 1/2". PMed you.

Anyone w/ knowledge,

Question regarding this Vintage Iron pipe for the 81-82' 430s. Does this look like the right pipe (the plated one)? Upon closer examination and an attempt at final mounting - not very similar to stocker. This one will require some serious cutting grinding welding and bending to truly fit scoot. As it sits - doesn't mount up. Way off. Looks like a 390 pipe - maybe? I don't know and am confused.

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Sure, it looks like more at a 390 pipe than a 430 pipe !

Bultokid,
If at all possible, could/would you post up a photo of yours? I sure would like to see what a 430 pipe looks like before I even attempt calling V.I. about resolving wrong pipe issue.
