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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Steering Stem Bearings for a 1983 CR?

It is a cone on the stem and a cup in the frame. There are numbers on the parts. The origionals are made in England and I believe inch series not metric. Sorry I can not tell you what you ask for at this time. It is the same tapered roller bearing assembly as in my current avatar bike. The seal probably is Husky specific if I recall. I guess the cone and cup could come as a set but that is not how I got them from the industrial or even NAPA.
 
Oh there are various ways to modify things to work. If you get to mill like vertical Bridgeport for example and a boring head there is an air powered attachment that fits into the 5/8 hole on the boring head. In place of boring bar. clamp the cone or the cup and modify the bearing part. I used essentially dremmel sized grinding stone. These things are often kind of how bad do you want it.
