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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

modernizing a 76 360wr

Does anyone know the sizes of the ball bearings (ball diameters) for upper and lower steering head bearings on 78 and 77 husky AMX?
 
3mm or 4mm. Measure 1 if you have one. I believe it is 3mm but don't run out and buy some as that may be an error on my part.
 
Then the correct size would be 4 mm. I know when I measured the set I removed from the only ball and cone Husqvarna frame I ever had they were metric and definitely not SAE. 3/16 may work but I doubt it is correct. Radial difference between 4 mm and 3/16 is .013"
 
I have little doubt that in Your area there is a " Vintage " class that You can race these bikes in. You might not be in the same race as Your buddys but You will be at the same event and can hang out with them. Here in the Pacific NW only about 1/3rd of the bikes that go to an event fall into true Vintage Classes. So if You start modernizing you bike it will fall into more modern classes.
