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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I might have posted this in the wrong section before, so hedging bets here.
I have a friend doing a resto on a 74 WR400. So he needs the peanut type with the gas cap in the middle. It doesn't need to be perfect, as he already knows a museum quality tank can be very expensive.

Anyone got any leads?
 
^^^ Yes, that's the one. I'm no expert, but I guess there was a "race" tank that was silver.
 
And that's why the Cafe rocks. All I've ever learned about vintage Husqvarna other than a little personal experience I got here.

The only silver tank that I know of that would have fit that year is the aftermarket Hi Point tank that had an unpainted aluminum finish.

The tank pictured above is pretty standard starting 71 on 250, 400, and 450's, its a 2.5 gal. There is documentation showing a 2.2 gal tank that was used during the same period but I've never seen them side by side to know if it really exist. 2.2 could be a typo.

Anyways, the pictured tank can be found on Ebay and now that people know what your after maybe someone will PM you with one they want to sell.
 
I think my friend is a little leary about Ebay. That's why I inquired here. I know that our members' integrity is on a much higher level. He is willing to go for one that needs work, he figured that's part of the deal.
