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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

Hi a couple of pics of my 88 430XC. As I bought it, the expansion pipe still has the original paint!husky 002.jpghusky 003.jpg It has had 18" akront rims front & rear with BT45 110/70/18 & 140/70/18 tyres, an aftermarket headlamp and KTM front guard & rear hugger fitted and road legal. I have 18" 21" nordisk original rims, and an FMF silencer to replace the hidieous cut down original (each power stroke like a pistol shot, without what it was doing to the running). Not sure about the cut down number boards what do you think? I definately want the off road capability but i quite like the retro supermoto looks.

Any one have a pic of the prototype 84 water coolers that they used an 83 metal tank and cut and blocked out the front lower part so it could clear the radiator?
