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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Reed Induction Piston Window Dims.

I recently purchased a 1972 250WR and am in the process of going through it to replace seals, bearings ect. so I will know what I have got. This bike originally utilized "port" induction but a previous owner installed a "GEM" reed induction system. Upon removing the intake manifold to install new gaskets I discovered that it has a brand new piston installed. The problem is that the new piston does not have the windows normally installed for reed induction machined in it. Does anyone have the dimensions I need to machine these?
 
Discussion and dimensions are in a posting here in Cafe Husky from May 28, 2017 titled:
