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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sandy is especially helpful in getting/assembling the information that you may want if you are going with new geometry ( e.g 17" to 18" wheel and longer swingarms)

COFFEE EDIT: I have been contacted and this seems to be the new link:
http://husqvarna-engines.com/

This link is courtesy of Huskydogg. :cool::cool::cool:

I lost this link a while back and have been trying to find it ever since!

I have spoken with this shop several times and he has given me detailed quotes. Have not done any work with him yet though. First impression is that this is a topnotch Husky Motor Rebuilder.

Spray Can Silver Paint any decent Hardware Store USA

Silver Frame paint - Spray Can
Several people have reccomended the following for spray can silver on Husky Frames

Rust-oleum Appliance Epoxy "Stainless Steel" #7887 as the closest match to the original Husky frame color
Fast drying and cures out hard and tough.

Duplicolor Aluminum Engine Enamel # EDE1516

Duplicolor Silver #T229

Again this is if you are using spray cans....

Spray Can Gold 81 82 Husky any decent Hardware Store USA

Gold Fork Leg Spray Paint

If you are repainting the Gold fork legs / Handlebars on '81 and '82 Husky's and using spray cans several people have reccomended:

Rust-oleum Metallic "Gold Rush" #7270 as the closest quality spray match to the Husky original.

I've used Rick for many years and not only is he great at sourcing Husky stuff he's got a huge parts supply and knows a lot about the brand, racing specs ,etc.
 
Concerning Ohlins vintage and post-vintage shocks (purchase or rebuild) I don't think Craig C. is doing anything with bikes anymore. Ohlins has a "vintage" independent rep named Steve Marpes who is fantastic and can handle just about any question you could come up with. He is x-Ohlins so he knows the crew & product. His number is 828-243-3520 and he's located in SC.

Brraaapppp!
