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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Automatic registration

I have a 1982 420 AXC (I think). Ruff (I know for sure), but maybe not a lot of miles on it. Have never even tried to start it. Just looks like it had not been used much but badly neglected and the tank and seat robbed off. Someday....
 
PM sent.
The 430 count is about to go way up...
Michel, we need the year of the bike! Does anyone own a 88 430 Auto?
 
I'd like to know how much automatic bikes are owned on this forum and which models.
You can post directly or PM me if you don't want to appear on the thread.
I begin:
-420 ae in 390 frame
-430 ae in 400 wrlc frame
-430 ae 86
-500 ae 84

Currently 1 x '77 360 Auto (Sydney)
I had a new '88 430AE back in the mid 90s' (a Hans Appelgren crate Husky), I sold it to my younger brother, he broke his foot/ankle kickstarting it and so he sold it....
