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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

great deals are still out there.

I purchased a complete swing arm with the brake plate rod, chain tensioner stuff, kick stand with spring. Then I purchased a carb, complete handle bar with cables and early barkbusters. All from the same seller. I asked him if he had the lower shock bolts and he sent me an assortment of bolts in a box. There are some great guys out there yet.
I see cases completely stripped because there trying to make every dime they can. Little items priced through the roof. There's honest people out there yet.
 
Few and far between bigbill.
But good job on finding him, should of asked if he had the rest of the bike.
 
I agree bigbill i've been dealing w/a guy on ebay from mi.and he's been great on his prices i've bought a bunch of stuff from him and all i wanted was the 78"frame n swingarm to go w/my 78'250wr motor.You don't think he's doing that on purpose to keep me coming back do you?:lol:
 
It's tough to find the parts for decent cost. He sold the rest of the bike. But I purchased most of the harder to find parts. It's time to clean and prep the frames and swing arms for paint. This is were the restoration process begins.

Now I'm thinking of maybe getting a few extra parts.
 
Parts are where you find them. A lot of Husqvarnas have been systematically parted out over the last 8 years that I have been watching and buying. I get frustrated with sellers that break a transmission out to individual shafts and gears. Thing like wheels, and frames get expensive because of the cost of shipping

He sounds like he wants all the stuff to get reused. Bill
 
I'll tell you Bill this guy parted out the bike in big parts ie i got the frame and swingarm for 1 price bottom end was all intact no parting out every nut and bolt and there isn't hardly anything left.Thats how i like to by parts.
