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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Suggestions on pipe finishes and stuffing?

I have a nice original pipe with no dents, original paint with some rust. Whats the best coating for correct color and durability? What's the best silencer material?
 
I use a high temp semi gloss black. It's just my taste. I use Moose silencer packing but i'm sure they are all the same.
 
I have found the stove / BBQ paint works well on 2 stroke pipes.

Grill paint will always dry flat. If you want it glossy or semi gloss go with hi temp engine paint black of course . It looks really good after a few rides (not so new looking ) get it at any auto parts store.

The stuff I used was not flat but satin or semi gloss, looked about right to me and was stinking durable.
