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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sweet Find! Do you know what race that is from? At first I thought it might be a 84 works bike but after checking it out more closely It does appear to be a 83.

Hi Michel,

I know a spanner man who worked for the UK importer at that time, he will know what existed. When I speak to him next (if I can remember to do so.. I'll print out the pic) I'll find out if he knows anything about this bike...

Must admit I can't remember seeing anything like that at the time...

Hi Michel,

I'll be seeing him as soon as I get my engine back..... so I'll take a copy of the pics along and ask if it jogs his memory....

That 510 Larry Roeseler looks like an '84 with extras :)
