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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Replacement 1972 450cr

My Cat Says AREAR!
So when I've sold my last 450cr it did not have the 0008 motor in it. I kept that.
Now it's going to go into this bike that I've had bouncing around for a while. Throwing parts at it here and there.
So I still got to take the engine apart and repaint it and do an inspection but with only maybe 5 hours on it I think it's going to be pretty sweet and it's got the 6-speed.
I'm also going to make it a right-hand shifter so we'll see where that goes.
Since I've been riding The BSA and my Triumph Trophy, I'm attempting to get better at shifting with the right foot.
Today I put new Vintco Air Shocks on it.
Had to make new spacers because the shock mounting points are pretty thin and then because the shock slides over those spacers I had to make spacers for my spacers out of plastic so that they would stay centered.
