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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Large Case Right Hand Shift Conversion

I had always known it was possible. I would think the shaft had to be extended to exit to the right and that the shaft bore had to picked up from the left centercase to be in the correct axial position. Or is that a former works bike for an older rider from the 60's?
 
Yeah I saw this bike on Ebay and was interested in the fact that somebody actually did this. Having owned a few Huskys from this era I knew of the option to do this conversion but never saw it done.

Theres a stub shaft on the left side that can be moved to the right side but its a bit to long so it would need to be shortened a few millimeters. I wonder what they used to secure the hole remaining in the left case. Certainly wouldn't want to loose gear oil suddenly.

The brake lever is another thing that interested me. The earlier style left-sided brake pedal and hardware looks to be close enough to work well, with some minor modification.
 
It looks like a stub was left on the left of the shift mechanism to use the seal to block oil leakage.
