• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Thread Size On Most Alloy Tanks?

Does anyone know the size of the threads on most of the alloy tanks, Years 79-83 ish?

Are they British Standard Or NPT?

What Size is the Thread ?

Thanx!
 
M16 x 1m/m pitch.

It is a very good idea when restoring these tanks to weld around the flange of these threaded bosses, as they have a nasty habit of leaking from here...
Also, whilst you have the welder out, go over the seam that is hidden by the seat, as the seat often wears this one away! The main cause of this is failure to use the tank strap on the rear of the tank - underneath.

Watch too for the expansion chamber touching the underside of the tank and that seam.
