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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I picked up a silver cr frame the has the squared off rear no loop. They called it a '79 but I don't remember any 79's with the square rear with the two nylon plugs? They said it's a 390cr frame. I'm thinking it's a 1980 or newer like 81? Don't know the number yet it's not here. I purchased the swing arm and rear olins too.

Since I'm a class A machine builder, lead engineering tech and built the recoil shocks for the 155mm
Howitzer for the US army that were filled with 200lbs of nitrogen. I think I can rebuild the olins it's a thought right now. There isn't much I haven't worked on in my lifetime.

Warning, when working on the equipment that has these large giant shocks there filled with nitrogen. We lost a local man here when he tried to disassemble it without removing the gas first. This was an excavator on tracks. Know your equipment before you take it apart.

The national timber fellers association says ask yourself is what I'm about to do safe? It could save your life. Be safe do it right.
 
Probably an '80 or newer, but a '79 with the rear loop cut off and some plugs in it would look a lot like it. A way to tell besides the frame number is if it has the tabs for the '81-'82 side panels.
 
The only thing I can see in the picture is the swing arm has the large spring loaded chain tensioner. She has the twin olins with the hoses and gas cans. Plus you guys are right it's an
80's and needs the number plates. I scored. I took a chance.
 
The frame, the swing arm and the olin rear shocks aren't here yet. From the pics the rear frame is squared off with those two nylon plugs and she has the oval number plates. I believe it's a 1980 frame. It's the wide low seat I'm guessing.
