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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oh dear, I think I just bought this.....

LC 500 in that chassis has to be insane ! goes like hell and stops on a dime right? good luck with it very cool bike.
 
pretty much! cool bike..
well if you do buy it for real..would be nice to see some in depth pictures of the conversion..
 
Yeah, it's a 500! It does go hard, turn and stop.
I can own it with no cash outlay, my friend wants to swap it for my KTM640 Adventure. It's not official yet, but I do really like this animal!
 
that's a pretty wild intake :thumbsup:
that swingarm bolt looks old school, I know there was frame mods made but to get the engine and swingarm to interface would take some serious remodeling
I held some vintage cases in a 95 chassis out of curiosity and could see the amount of work needed, this bike is "unique cool"
 
Vibes aren't a problem, let's just say I haven't noticed anything while riding or in neutral.
It's a snug fit in that frame, notice no engine mount plates, just mount tabs on the frame that the engine bolts to.
I still have a shift mechanism issue, the lever seems to be binding and not returning to the centre position sometimes, preventing up shifting now and then. I'll pop the clutch cover off over the weekend and check it out, may need a new return spring if no binding evident.
Tony.
