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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Airbox is for 1975 and most of 1976. For ML series frames. The carb adapter is for a later model when Husky coverted to Mikuni carbs, probably for a 1978 Unless the carb adapter itself is made of aluminum not magnesium and this carb adapter looks to be aluminum to me. Then in that case the carb adapter was part of a Mikuni carb swap kit that was available in August of 1977 to replace the Gurtner carbs on the 360WR's. The reed block was not part of that kit and used the original magnesium reed block. Hope this helps

I think Marty nailed it.

I finished rebuilding a 75 360CR a few months ago and the air cleaner cover on it was like this one, aluminum and free of castings for emblems and/or stickers, and had the Husky logo in the upper left hand corner.

As for the reed box, my 75 had the bing carb which had the male spigot and not the flange as this one has. Plus the reeds on the 75 didn't protrude from the box like on the later models such as the 79 390 that I parted out.
 
Kartwheel, you are correct in that 1975 was the first year of the ML frame but for the CR's only. The 74 MK frame WR's were carried over to 75 making 1975 a year that both the MK and ML frames were available.
