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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New Nylon fork bump stops and frame inserts

I thought I would post this here for those of you who don't follow the restoration projects but may also want some of these....

I bought some Nylon and my mate made a tool to produce new frame inserts because I couldn't find any new ones (somebody is now going to jump up and say so-and-so makes them or has them in stock...)

They finish off the newly powdercoated frame rather nicely.

If anybody wants some then just PM me and I'll put you in direct contact.

Friends that are willing to donate their time and expirence is an invauable asset w/ projects such as ours. Nicely done (w/ extras I hope)! You owe your buddy lunch!

Rest assured that I have made sure that he has been more than compensated and I couldn't agree with you more Rick about mates (and forum members) lending a hand when needed...

Yes he does but at $14 for a pair. I made my own, it was real easy to do on my small lathe.

See I told you.... wish I could do that with the lottery numbers :)

I think my mate will do them for less than that. As he's done mine FOC as I supplied the Nylon, he's now working on a price. It's all down to numbers...

Will keep you posted.
