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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Late 80's Lower Chain Guide question

Hwy

Hwy

Mini-Sponsor
Does the guide pivot on the triangular bracket?
There is a bushing in the bracket but not the same length (shorter) than the bushings in the wheels. When tightened the side plates to bow in slightly.

I inserted two .010" nylon spacers between the bracket and side plates and now moves with slight resistance when the larger bolt is torqued to 7 ft lbs.

Is this correct?

correct....but you are missing the ruber roller on the mid one....2nd ruber is about 2/3 the size of lower one just smaller enough to allow top triangle to pivot without rubbing alot on mid one
