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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dave J,
I like it. Integrated front round number plate will match the side number plates. I say yes.

Looks good. I had high hopes, but regretably won't work if you have a speedo fitted that sits in front of the bars ...
 
Dave, here's a photo of what it looked like mounted up.

As I said - the problem was that the number plate didn't leave enough room for the speedo, which meant that the side bits wouldn't sit flush to the fork tubes. If it wasn't for that, I would have used it. It may fit with a viper type speedo?

Cheers
Lucien

Drill a hole for the cable and cut a small slot to get it in there. Looks like it would work perfect that way.
 
Hi Motorsportz - sorry, I don't think I was clear enough. It wasn't the cable stopping the unit sit flush to the fork tubes, it was the actual speedo unit (the bit with the needle and the mph numbers). The OEM Husky headlight cowl physically has more room behind the number panel to fit the speedo into, whereas this UFO one is much flusher to the forks.
 
Shame about the spedo, there is always somthing with aftermarket, still with a coloured
background ,some roost damage and some dirt it will look quite good

Do you have a model number for the headlamp?? Is it 12 volt or 6 volt ??

Thanks rb
 
Acerbis lights have a mounting system that has clearance behind the light for larger speedo heads and front brake cable clearance. No other headlights other than OEM have the clearance needed...researched and dealt with this issue
