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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yes they are neat as we'll. I am turning the 79 into a 80 cr 390 because it will become my rider bike.

Glad it doing another.

Just have to say this is a stunning restore. Great Detail. You have a nice set of adjustable ohlins there. Did you adapt this set from another bike or ATV. Would like to have
adjustable compression and rebound!

Appreciate the hard work.

Thanks for the compliment! :thumbsup:
The original girling shocks were trashed and really not worth restoring. I got those shocks from Philip at Husqvarna-Parts and they are fully adjustable, but they weren't cheap :eek:
When i got them i wasn't to keen on the blue springs and i was going to get them powder coated red, but they've grown on me and i like them now so they will be staying blue
