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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

picked up a new toy yesterday

Pics always make them look nicer than they are. This one isn't too bad but it's not a show queen either. The tank has a couple dents and scratches and the seat cover has a couple rips. The rims were welded at the joints where they are put together. But overall it's a complete bike and not a lot of back yard repairs.
 
I was surprised to find the 430WR engine in the collection of basket cases I picked up. I was told I was getting parts for 2 82 250WRs and a 86 400WR. It took about 6 months to figure out what was what and what it went to. I got a title for 1 of the 250WR frames and another title for a frame that was destroyed prior to my acquisition.

We never know what were getting. Some of the sellers aren't sure what they have. I pop purchased a $39 420 cylinder he called it a 250. A complete 430wr engine/tranny they called a 250. I counted the 9 fins on the cylinders. I believe the 250's have 7 fins. Extra parts is extra parts.
