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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

82 XC Identification

DSCF2157.JPGDSCF2159.JPGThis is the combo I have. Frame XN without rear hoop or lower bar. No floating brake arm mount. CR alloy tank. 390OR engine. 40mm CR forks. So what to call this. Looks like a 1980CR except for floating brake. Now I am thinking flattrack/ice bike. Needs alot more parts but the main pieces are all here. Runs like hell but I just cannot kick fast enough with motoplat.

the little kicker those had didnt help. seemed to be hard on boots but does tuck in nicely
 
John do you know if I can use the kickstart mechanism and lever from an 83/84 bigbore. Possibly the whole clutch cover and all? I have the old style straight short kick with fine spline. The later ones look better and I would get a better kick also.
Thanks
Marc

Yeap, it's a direct swap over, it think the big bore has a different clutch base gear, but the kicker gear it the same. Even a watercooled motor
left side cover fit... That's why you've got to love old Huskys, parts 2 years in front or behind the year you have, usually fits :applause: .
