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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

$350 barn find

Never had a 510, but had a '99 Husqvarna TE610e dual sport. Goons of torque, plenty of speed. For a dual sport on the street the narro seat got stuck in my butt. Not really but if the seat was a tad softer.
 
The one in middle was the first i found and have some more mods to do on it.
Its the 510 I have spent the most on.
Trying to get it up to a level thats better to ride.
The stock forks were getting pounded from dead springs.
I put 85 XC forks on it for the last few rides, but the brakes cant stop that pig lol.
I have a 90 WP front end with the better caliper and wheel to install, also got a modern Brembo master to squeeze it all.
I hope it handles and stops like i want it to be.
Then it will be the main one to ride and just save the bone stock 87 as is.
 
So a little update on the 89

Did some forks seals and some socks.

Love the fork leg covers, been going 3 years on the same seals in W/P forks on my 86.

Seen seals go on friends newer bikes in 3 rides lol

New front tire and some bark busters.

She is ready for the long weekend riding.
