What's up husky fans I used to have an account on here about a year ago and I lost my e mail so I figured I would start a new one. I traded an old 81 atc 250 for a 1985 husqvarna xc 500 with low compression but still running, you could roll it tover by hand lol. I proceeded to pull the top end and found out the motor numbers didn't match a 500 motor , it was in fact a wr 400 motor with the front of the piston under the ring melted and a smoked rod journal and wrist pin bearing, still an xc 500 frame tho! I posted a thread on another husky forum about it and a member on there was kind enough to sent me a 430 piston and crank for shipping cost only !!B) hopefully one day I can find a true xc 500 motor it but the 430 with the 400 wr six speed trans will be enough for now.now my questions to you guys are, will the wr 400 stator support a hi lo beam headlight and a brake/tailight ? Because I would like to make it street legal supermoto! Ill post up pics today thanx in advance husky fans !

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Motoplats have lighting, but its 6 volt, weak and will probably not power a DOT legal system. If you need DOT lights, put an MZ-B/Powerdynamo 12 volt system on it. With no rubber cush drive in the rear wheel, the transmission will probably not last long in a supermoto application.
well after looking at the cost of supermoto wheels id say I'm just going to stick with just putting dot tires on it and making it street legal but is a cushdrive absolutely necessary for street use ? I'm pretty sure I have to have a hi lo beam headlight and I need a new flywheel anyway so I. Guess an ignition upgrade is in order
