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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ohlins Paint Code.

Yes I have done it with mixed results. First off the Reservoirs don't pop off all that easy and You have a chance of ruining them. Anodizing Shops hate Gold, and probably Blue isn't much better. Because production shops don't do these colors very often they are going to have to stop everything they are doing just to do them and they will have no idea what the color they were when it was new. Like any paint job its all in the preparation. So You need to polish them before you have them done. Not to much not to little, just like the factory did it. If You want the most flash for the cash, I highly recommend you just buy new ones. Husqvarna-parts.com is way easier. Only problem is the replacement ones are not exactly the same as the originals. The shape of them is a bit different. Only a true Husqvarna person will notice. Anodizing is for exact restorations, new ones for everything else.
