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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need new plastics & seat cover for a 74 CR250 Mag

I'm looking for new fenders, number plates and seat cover for my 1974 Husqvarna CR250 Mag. I was wondering the best place to get them?

Thank you
 
DC Plastics makes good stuff...but, it has no gloss. Stickers will not stick to matte finish very well. Vintage Husky and Huskyjunk both have OEM type stuff. I have bought from all three. I like the plastic that is glossy better. BTW , it is easier to buy a complete seat. Jeff
 
If you arent super picky about material take it to an upholstery shop and have it recovered. I had my 79 seat done by an upholstery guy for like $50 and it looks awesome.

Are Vintage Husky and Huskyjunk still selling plastics? Neither seem to have a fully functioning web site now.

Anyone else know where to get the glossy plastics?
 
I bought my 79 rear fender from DC's ebay site...it was a factory second and only $23.00 fit was good..inner fender from DC also.
for the front fenders on my 79 and 72 I used the Acerbis Nost Front Fender - White 2040370002 $25.00 shipped from Chaparral trough Amazon... I had to fabricate a front fender mount for the 72...number plates I picked up at swapmeets for about $4.00 each...have not bought any seat covers yet...
 
I just ordered a set of fenders today for my 81 420ae from RTR will see how they look when they get here the pics look good and Grouty recommended them.Usually on Ebay you can find seat covers relatively inexpensive I prefer a preston petty Tony D mx front fender and a preston petty rear mx for a rider.Good luck
