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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pipe pictures

You know what would be cool, I think, would be a thread like this that just included multiple pipe shots. Of more than one Husky model. Could really turn into a big resource for seeing different make pipes for various bikes. Since one manufacturers design, can look real similar in build, welding, etc for other models. I know I'm real curious about different pipes that are out there for the 85 to 88 500XC's / CR's.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack.
 
Pretty sure bike has a Asche pipe on it, here is a pic. Seams dont line up like stock pipes. Any other ideas?

might be, 79 -82 had a double wall pipe, that was known to come apart from the inside and clog up the muffler.
both my bikes have stock pipes..raining like crazy today...ill see if i can get you a pic
 
The Asche pipes I had on my 79 250 cr and 420cr did not have external seams like the stock Husky pipes....

At least that's what I remember from 28 years ago.:excuseme:

Scott, I wonder if the later ones did have the seam? I have one for a 82 430 that I got from the orig. owner, he even had all the recipts! Pipe was $199 in 83 from Tri-Cities Husky shop. He said it was a ProCircuit pipe but recipt said Asche? My stock 250's 430 and 500 pipes have external seam but its in-line from head to the bend for the expansion. The pipe dimensions aren't much different. I think I have a pic of two side by side for my 500 project in the projects forum
 
Wasn't there a thread a while back, that a few guys were having custom pipes built ?

I think it was for82/83 CR's ?

Did we ever see the outcome ?
