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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna Cr250 1980 - 19" Rearwheel?

You may have to consider that many 19 s have a smaller side wall, than may have to worry about fender clearence. The thicker or I mean taller sidewall of the 18" gives a bit, making a nicer ride.
 
If you are not racing hard pack in a supercross stadium on a bike with modern linkage rear suspentsion there is absolutely zero advantage to a 19" rear tire.

The real motivation is a bigger selection of tyres really, the 17" inch tyres are hard to come by and I need new spokes and rim anyways.
 
I always forget 17" tires seem to be harder to get outside the US. I would go to an 18" as Justintendo said if you cant stay with the 17".
