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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi folks!
I have been lurking around this site for several weeks since it came to my attention that my old 400 Cross was up for sale. I bought the bike new in late '70 or early '71. Raced it for a few years, then in '73 I bought a 250WR, and sold the Cross to my buddy. He rode it a few times for a few years, then parked it in his toolshed in the late '70's or early '80's. It sat there for some 30 years until 2 weeks ago, when I BOUGHT IT BACK !

I will post some photos shortly, don't have time today. Don't be surprised if it looks like it sat in a toolshed for 30 years.
I look forward to starting the "race ready" restoration.
You'll be hearing from me.

Welcome Rosco!

I have moved this over to the Vintage Left Kicker forum as opposed to the restoration forum. If your planning on a Rebuild/Restoration type thread, please read the intro stickies in that area and then post accordingly!

Again welcome! looking forward to pictures of the Husky with 30 years of dust on it!!!
