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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1984 250 WR Swingarm needed - where to find?

I have an 84 250 WR Swing Arm. I also have the 84 WR Forks and the Betor ITC Shocks I was thinking I would sell the whole package as a Lowering Kit for People who are intimidated by the High Seat Height of the CR's. The bike this stuff came off was a very low hour ( it still had the original rear tire) and everything should be in great shape. Tonight I took a closer look and things aren't as good as I hoped. The Fork Tubes are good but not perfect. There are some small divots in the Chrome still very useable but seals aren't going to last for ever. The Bushings inside should be near new But I have not been inside to look. The Swing Arm is just a low hour Swing Arm, I even have the Plastic Chain Guard. The Betor Shocks can best be described as Shot. There is no dampening at all, the seals are leaking and worst of all the Rods are rusted to the point of no choice but replacement. They could be used as cores for a ground up Shock build, I would be temped to send them to Race Tech and have them gutted and filled with there modern internals.

The way I see it the Forks are worth $125, and the Arm $75 with the Chain Guard. I would throw the Shocks in for free. So $200 plus shipping. If nobody shows any interest in the package I will separate.

If You haven't figured it out already I went the other direction, I turned a WR into a CR. I paid a lot more than this for the Cores to rebuild a working suspension.

I have acquired a basket-case 1984 250 WR, it looks to be pretty much all there, except the swingarm. I am looking for a swingarm, and wondering what years might be compatible with the 1984 model, if any. I know the 1983 looks similar.... Anybody???
