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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Magnificent 7

Rossik,

Here you go! The only thing I did was work with guy at TM Designs. I fed them some measurements and this was closest one.
For the bracket on 83 with the two bolts and single bushing mount. Just grind it out some till it fits, pivots etc... There is plenty of meat left. I marked the area.

And this is what it looks like bolted together with bracket.

Then I trimmed excess off that I marked.

There are two holes in chain guide. I used the front two.

The roller design keeps the chain aligned as well.

Now this chain guide also works on the older bracket.
Still grind some out so bracket and spacers align with one of the two holes in chain guide.

I'm not sure yet which holes I will use because have not gotten one yet for the 82 Cr 250?

This was an experiment, say to speak. But it does fit older bracket, just retain the spacers.

Here is chain guide I matched up. Comes in yellow, blue and black.

are you going to be continuing the stripes from the tank down the sidepanels somehow? i can understand not wanting to follow the original format but some kinda stripe mockup would be cool.
 
Yup, it's a couple pages back justintendo

Yeah, planning on stripe to come off of tank. Where it says: Cr 250, I just want to put in Husqvarna.
That way if I would change sizes,stroke crank, etc... It is not labeled.
I'm think under the stripe, to put some blue lines in to look like vents. Add some yellow accents and blue accents, like these side plates.
Thinking now of holding off on side plate graphics till I get the front and rear fender ones.
