Restoration Husaberg 501 / 1991

Tobias427 · Nov 12, 2024

Hello everyone

I have just started to restore an old Husaberg 501 from 1991.

As I have never worked on a Husaberg before, I am missing some important information.
I would just like to get some basic information about the model and get some helpful tips.
What I have already noticed is that various parts are quite difficult to obtain, especially if you don't know exactly which year you can use everything for.

Does anyone have any tips on where I can get parts for my old bike, and which model years are identical?

I am also missing a wiring diagram and a workshop manual. As I have to redo the complete wiring harness, this would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards
Tobias

In addition to the information archived on this site there is
Husaberg manuals & other media - Google Drive

Taffmeisters has a great supply of OEM and aftermarket parts.

Hello

Thank you very much, it has helped me a lot.
I have already painted the frame. Now I can get started.

Looks like a good color match. Perhaps you could document your progress here. Not many 1991 frame up restos threads to be found. Should be fun.

Sure, I'll be happy to do that.
I've already done the steering head bearing today and cleaned them all properly. The steering head bearing will go into the ultrasonic bath tomorrow and will then be re-greased before the steering head is reassembled.

The suspension fork is already fitted. Slowly you can see what it is going to be.

hey Tobias, you're doing a great yob!! about parts for the early 'Berg's it's a bit of a challenge!!

Hello
Thanks for the tip.
Yes, I have already noticed that with the parts

Unfortunately, both bearing sleeves and the swingarm axle were broken on the swingarm. Of course I couldn't find them anywhere. I have now bought hardened precision steel and am having the sleeves and axle re-milled by a colleague.

I have already re-stuffed the exhaust and powder-coated various small parts.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the bike rides. :-D

By the way, do you know what they're actually worth? I can't find any FE 501s from 1991 for sale on the internet.

Cheers
Tobias
