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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I thought someone might like to see what a pipe looks like with a Zinc/Nickel finish. I just got this back from the plating company.Zinc-Nickel pipe 001.jpgZinc-Nickel pipe 002.jpgZinc-Nickel pipe 003.jpgZinc-Nickel pipe 006.jpg
 
East Liberty Electroplating, in Glenshaw,
PA. Near Pittsburgh. Cost was $150, which was their minimum fee. It took 4 weeks, they had to wait for other items to run with my parts.
They called it a zinc/nickel finish. I did not want a chrome shiny look, thought it would be too flashy for the bike w gold wheels.
 
Nice pipe.. I ran a Mossbarger on my 250 for a while too.. I believe that it lost some bottom end.. the air speed thru the carb / cylinder was slowed down...went back to a stock reed block with Boyesen reeds .. much better..
