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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PC Plastic "Clean up" Kit

Are you still looking into having these made? I have a 79 Husky 125 that I would like to adapt that rear fender to.
 
Update:
OK - Have spoken with Maier ... they need to physically have the 3 pieces in hand for an estimate.
This I understand - not thrilled about sending the items out through a courier,,, but will pack and do so.
Stay tuned.
 
Maier is going to do an estimate to do an injection molded set?

If that is the case and the cost of tooling combined with a limited run to me sounds like it will be very expensive estimate. I hope I am wrong for sure.

Thanks for the update WestCoast. Sounds like we have a lot of sets spoken for.

Injection - not Maier , believe all product is vacuum formed.
Biggest unknown is final clean-up operation (mill work) , if needed.

Can anyone lay there hands on a "Supercross Number Plate" ?

Are you still looking for a front number plate? I used to work at ATK here in Utah, I seem to remember several of these big square plates in different colors. And for sure a bunch of Background stickers that can be cut down in size to fit almost any plate, it'd mess us the little pin stripe border, but big deal. It freshened up the looks on my 390 (with an Acerbis number plate fuel tank) just fine. call Chris White (Frank's brother. not to be confused with White borthers) in the Parts dept. He leaves kinda early, like 3:30 MST (to get his swirve on) 801-298-8288 They haven't updated their price list in years. He'll take care of you, let him know Remo sent you!
 
I used to have a set of these PC "clean up" side panels in black. They look very cool on the bike and let you see all of the space devoted to that fantastic rear travel associated with the awesome suspension. Not worth a damn for racing (number plate) but top notch in the appearance dept. I even called Mitch at Pro Circuit to see if he could tell me who made them for him, he couldn't remember. You'll loose the one finger airbox access and can use them with or without the flip open stock airbox cover. they work best on the machines with the center access air filter that's under the seat ('83/'84?) They fit my '85 TX510 also (way better than those Huge panels that came stock.) on the earlier models, if you run without the stock flip cover, you loose what little, water proof protection you had. (the air intake noise on the big bores sounds wicked) and they aren't much protection from sand in the dunes either. Mine went with the only Husky I ever sold, (very stupid) an '83 XC500. I'm a buyer of a couple sets for certain! I run a rear fender/number plate unit like that on my '81 KTM MX495 (from the GS model)
 
Hi there I´m new at cafehusky.
The first thing that caught my eyes was this nice set of pc plastics, I want a set as well.
Is it possible to send it to Sweden?
 
Thread Bump****************************************!!

West Coast..... any information on this? A lot of people waiting to hear back .... Maier or DC would work.

Let us know.

We can make them both for you. Don said you would need to take 8 sets in order to pay for the molds. Maier can probably make them as well, but I believe their mold fees are substantially higher.

THE QUALITY WITH MAIER IS ALSO MUCH HIGHER, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
