• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kinda what other side looks like.

Got to get some vintage stickers in the open white areas.

Thanx Mr Brown and Dfa!

I really enjoy your builds and that motivates me to keep going.

Ive been watching all of them for a long time. Everyone on here is very good at what you do and knowledgeable. Most of you guys are walking Husky libraries********************************************************************************



Dfa, I had good laugh on your cat. We have one inside (Gringo) and one outside (Kit Kit). They are funny in their own ways.
 
Does anyone have a set of rebuildable 17.25 piggy or remote reservoir ohlins?

Ignore! I grabbed a set of rebuildable Fox Air Shox.

Gonna put them on Maico and transfer my ohlins over.

If only you knew how much your posts motivate me to do better with my builds!
 
Easter bunny usually leaves me an Easter basket. So, got up this am, to race around trying to find it. I’m all excited! My thoughts are: a basket full of Husky stuff!

Well, this is what I got!

Figured I’d help out the economy. Got a set of Fox Shox coming. Might do them in some scheme of red and polished?

Gonna put these on Maico and move those ohlins over to Silver Streak.

I’m doing 2 engines for couple guys and one engine for real good friend of mine. He needed a set of shocks for his.

Was working on his triples and fork bottoms today. I did triples in Gun Coat baked on.

Kinda like ones on Fox Husky????

I’d like to pull off polishing the whole aluminum body on the Fox shock?

Then maybe throw a set of these decals on the side bottom of shock body?

I always loved the look of those Fox air shocks!

I agree. They were and still are bad looking. I remember when they first showed up at the motocross tracks. My neighbor had a set on his Husky with Ceri forks. My friend is giving me his original Fox Guage. He had a set on His RM 370 before he realized that he needed to be on a Husky.

Those years, were a special time in history that will never repeat itself.

I'm hoping to get a chance to ride again soon. My Husky TCXi 250 stuck a valve and needs some love so it's the old warhorse KTM for a while. I love the latest pics!

Thanx EC! Well at least it buys you some time before things open back up. Shucks on the valve situation. Hope it didn’t tear too much up.
