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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shaping and Forming Seat Foam

Electric fillet knife. You can then work it further with a sanding block depending on the type of foam.

How do you guys go about trimming seat foam and still maintain a smooth contour?

I have never done it myself but I have heard to use an electric carving knife like the one you would use on your Thanksgiving turkey and then final shape the foam with a serrated metal wood rasp similar to the old cheese grater in your mom's kitchen drawer...
 
The electric carving knife is amazing for shaping. Find a piece of scrap foam from an old baby crib mattress and practice first. You could even use it to add foam if you take too much off. Aerosol adhesive/glue that's safe for foam can be used to keep it situated while you install your cover.
 
See where my seat dips down for the rear fastener?

Use 3m super 777 adhesive to form your cover special areas to form cover to foam.

Yes electric knife and new straight razor blade for fine work.

Also, works good is to keep cover warm when stretching. With hair dryer. So when it cools it shrinks little for tight fit.
