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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1981 CR250

Lucky guy! Yeah I don't get it that everyone sells white or yellow. Green was specific to he 250's per FIM back in the day. The one pictured in my avatar is toast
 
try that tyre sealer that eats aluminium rims then you can fix it properly when the rim collapses:eek:
 
can someone please help me, to finish this bike i need the split sleeve that goes in the forks on the left hand side of the bike, that the axel goes through, and that the axel nut does up on.
if someone with an 81 or 82 CR250 could measure the length of the sleeve and let me know what it is, or point me in the direction of where i could buy one i'd greatly appreciate it.

There was one on ebay, last time I looked over the weekend, with axle/nut. Was reasonable as well.
 
I had a bit of spare time this long weekend so I dedicated the time to my bikes, I got my carby back from being cleaned, and I bought a few bits and pieces that I needed to finish the bike and it's 99.99% finished.
I just need a clamp for the intake side of the carby.
Here it is!!!
