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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Will a '93 TE610 swingarm fit a '87 430WR?

I was wondering if anyone new if a 1993 te610 swinger will fit a 87 wr430?
I've heard of and seen guys using the '90 and '91 te350 swingarms on the 87's
I'm looking to ad a rear disc on my Supermoto build

Thanks in Advance

with a lot of work it can be made to fit, but it will take pretty much remaking it
so no, yes I tried
 
so they look right, but you need to confirm the linkage lines up and shares geometry
I actually had a 92 610, the linkage ratio and centering was the actual problem

this is the linkage listed for this seller, assuming it came from the same bike, I had an 87 frame and all the rear
so took the 92 arm and with a little work fit it in the frame, then tried to tie the dog bone to the bottom mount, it did not line up
then tried the shock, same problem, not saying you can't overcome this, just at what price
also a friend brought up to check the linkage ratio if you plan to keep the Ohlins as they "might" be different
