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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Have you tried Charlie Preston, Husky Sales UK? His contact number is on his website, he might be able to help.
 
Without studying the parts sheets which you could do I suspect a wr model from 1983 or 1984 or an auto or four stroke with similar suspension would be an exact match. Before I had a bunch of spares I cut the portion which holds the bearings off a silver framed one and welded it in place of the deformed one on the chain side I had on my white framed one and incorporated a tube and grease fitting in the process. What else goes wrong with them? A cr would need different rear brake parts and an xc has more suspension travel and I believe longer shock travel but I really don't know how much the length differs. I suspect the shock mount is the same distance from the pivot but have xc stuff myself for those. The 82 and earlier silver framed ones have such a different top mount location I can't see the bottom mount being in the right place.
