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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Silver streak paint code

I am sure it for fuel tank. That has been asked before fairly recently. Frame is standard Husqvarna silver
 
Thanks for the info ford Ranger silver it is.

I also have another question , when I bought the bike it came with a new vm 44 carb in a box, I put the bike together and put it on, it had already had a decomp valve fitted to the head and it seams to run and start ok [2nd kick ]I am assuming because there is no slide wear etc.

I have read about fitting the 38 mm carb but I had this one so I thought I would give it a go but it still has the generic jetting it came with does anyone know what Husqvarna factory jetting is or what is a good base line with stock pipe.
 
Picking on this thread, Visiteur1948, what is the red colour for the silver streak tank? Thanks
