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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I am relacing a 1979 cr250. I lost 3 nipples. I have a 1976 ke125. Can I use nipples off the kawasaki?

If not, here can I purchase individual nipples and what size
 
Ruining about four nipples with the spoke wrench and vice grips both is about normal for me. I suspect the front ones are thinner than the rear ones. I would try Halls http://www.halls-cycles.com/ at least you can get the parts sheet. If it is the same number as for 83 to 88 rear I have enough used ones to not miss three. Entire wheels worth of spokes and nipples have come up on ebay with just the part # but I never was intrested. 15 years ago spokes cost $4 and nipples $2.

Measure the diameter of the spoke in mm and then how many threads per mm those are kind of crucial to be right.
