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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cool secret old Husky prototype pics.

I just saw this over at motocross action online. It's a few pictures of Lars Larson's two Husqvarna prototypes that never left Sweden when Husky was sold.HUSSHOP.jpg

At first I thought that was a twin shock... Then I seen the newer frame , then the big single shock, I guess you could run twins with that swing arm ? those are some bad looking bikes !!! (that means cool by the way)

I like the one at the back - case reed induction, rear disc and electric power valve. I assume it is a 250 or maybe 300 - well it is a prototype anyway. It just goes to show that Husky weren´t sitting around in those days. It is just a pity that they never saw the light of day in production. Others got the glory as being the first instead.
