• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

Can I see a close up shot of either side of those axle sliders? I got some threaded rod to cut to the right length and I'm wanting to see how the spacers fit up to the axle.
 
I don't plan on taking them off unless I have to! The rear wheel is coming off Wednesday so I can get the ovalised sprocket bolt holes seen to, so I can get some shots of the axle blocks then, front ones I don't see coming off any time soon.
 
I messed around with mine yesterday. I have plenty of threaded rod, but the spacers just aren't going to work. The axle nut side is fine, but the spacer on the opposite side doesn't slot into the axle to hold the sliders in place.

I did call Motostrano who stated that Supermoto Engineering isn't making the stuff any more. So, what they've got is all they can give me.

Looks like I'm SOL, unless I can find someone to machine me a custom spacer. 7602, are you listening? :)

I don't think you need to take them off! How about a close up picture of them on the bike!!:oldman:

Not much to see, more so when the TE's forks are quite different to the SMR's.

About that spacer on the right side, what's the axle look like underneath? That's how my spacer sits on my fork as well, but there's nothing there to keep the slider from moving around if you crash on it. The axle is completely hollow on the right side. The hole is quite a bit larger than the slider bolt. Here's mine:

Here's my 2009, nothing too fancy but I did just complete a mild face lift. The bike received a counter-balancer so while the motor was out I added a yz450f front fender, hardwired the GPS, did the 2010 plastics and some other small changes.
 
My poorly edited but in scale and true images. No photoshopping or anything, just pasted 2 images together in paint. They WERE SLR quality images but the limited upload size seems to reduce the overall resulotion Husky Power.jpg
