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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My fins are ringing!

Any suggestions for locating rubber inserts similar to the ones Husky used on their enduro models late '70s? Don't want to use cut up inner tubes.
 
Use some 3/8 back fuel line. Works great. Just cut 1' pieces and squish um inbetween the fins. Or, you could have somebody weld verticle vibe strips on your cylinder, but that is a lot more involved. They will help to cut down the vibes, and it is cheap. Take care.
 
Exactly what I used on my 83 430 to replace the dry rotted old stuff and was surprised how much more new rubber quieted it down.
 
Me, too. Let it RING!!! That's part of the allure of an air cooled big bore. I got to ride a really nice 81 KTM 495 recently and the sound was almost deafening, even at speed on an MX track. Loved it!!
 
You guys are mental. Let me send you some Georgia clay to stuff in the fins. Works purty good. Getinitout is a problem tho!
