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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone replace this rubber part? Im thinking I could use teh old one as a template to cut one from a new piece of reinforced rubber, like a truck mudflap, and then re-rivet it. Anyone been down this road?
 
I got some sheet neoprene from McFadden-Dale hardware. Using my old one as a pattern, I cut it out with an razor knife. The rounded corners were made with a sanding drum on a Dremel tool. I punched out the holes with a leather punch and revited the pieces in place. The Dremel made it look factory original.

I used one of those Ebay kits on my 77 250CR. Very nice fit, highly recommended.
