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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TLS Rear Brake! (found in the R & D parts bin)

Thought you might like this. I found one of these assemblies a couple of years ago in a secret location in Sweden. I since found another and decided to use them on my factory 300cc (yes you did read that correctly) WR's. They don't work any better than the already excellent sls rear, but they are pretty trick! I am using the bikes in the British Twinshock Enduro Championships.

Hello,
It looks like just modifying the front TLS brake linkage on to a rear backing plate. Drilling a hole and welding as shown above?? Or is their more going on that we can not
see. Maybe thats a new special option - you can work up for us. Really ! does it not work any better ??

Yes, it is mods to the front setup. Don't be fooled thought - there is quite a bit of machining to do, as the hidden cam is too long and fouls the swing arm - so that all needs work. The other one I have has a one piece arm - not the 2 parts welded together (that means a mod to that cam too....)
Be careful you don't set your machine shop alight machining the magnesium plate!

So this is a SLS brake plate converted to TLS? I have seen how to do that on Suzukis before. Drill the plate, add a second cam and then modify both cams and the shoes and then you have a home made TLS.
