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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New to the forum and new to Husky.

I hope I didn't scare You to bad. So far so good, the frame isn't smashed in, there isn't a Hole showing threw the Main cases, the Engine isn't froze up, and its old enough that it dosn't have Magnesium cases so they are probably OK. Nice start. Your going to want to get in touch with Husqvarna-Parts.com You will come to rely on his Parts threw out the restoration.

Cool bike! My Dad had one just like it until he switched to a 450 Desert Master. I got on it and flipped it first try. Needless to say, dad put me back on my Yam MX-80...
