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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

how many left kickers do U have?

Husqvarna
Pro Class
I have one running '84 250wr. I have a '84 wr frame that's going to be a 430wr. A 80 cr frame that's going to be a 250cr. A 82 cr frame for a 430cr. A 82cr frame for a 420cr. If all works out. My museum is only missing a 500cr AC.
 
It depend on how many wheels I can get. I have 2 82 250WRs but only one set of wheels, An 82 430WR engine with a bare frame and an 82 430CR maroon tank. A mostly complete 84 250WR in process of a rider restoration, 85 400WRX complete, low hours, only issue was corrosion behind impellor and has been repaired but not fully tested yet and missing only lighting components. I am currently building a 78 390WR from mostly scavenged parts that were purchased for a non related build that fizzled out. Last but not in any way the least an 86 400WR in process of major repairs not completed by PO.

So for me the count is 7 if I can get another set of wheels. I have really no need or desire for a 500 anything in terms of a 2 stroke
 
I've got a 73 360wr/rt, a 76 360wr a 78 250cr and a 82 430wr. No particular reason other than those are the bikes I've found for sale near by.
 
My 55-69 BMW are left kick. Kind of doubt that is what you had in mind though. I have one of those with a classic or some sort of plate.

I know I have started and rode two so far this year. Another one was on the truck earlier and it will get started and rode tomorrow. One more that could be started and ridden no work involved. After that the counting gets a bit harder. The 420 auto is supposed to get the 2004 super moto forks and still sits with no front end on it and I stole the chain. I got another auto, a 360 that probably would run with gasoline and air in the shocks but it is my museum one. As entered not as manufactured. The 510 is in West Virginia the rest are here where I ride around on the internet in NE Ct. I suppose I could put a few more together if I really wanted to. So 5 or so.
 
I've only got two, both runners, 84 500CR and 70 400 Cross. If I sit on my CR500R Honda backwards, it is a left kicker. :p
 
I have :
87 WR400
86 WR400
84 AE500
83 WR430 Frame
Hope to have an 85 CR250 real soon
