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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

restoration costs

We did not market them because my father copied an existing design that was vertical and sideway adjustable with lockpin holes every inch or so apart. Same thing when we made skidplates for our MR250s . He borrowed a Graham Sheet Metal MR250 skidplate from a friend of his prior to it's installation

So far every used running two stroke bike I had ended up with the crank seals going soon after I purchased it. This can get costly if it seizes and the crank rod bearing goes south too in the process. I think if I take a used running bike apart first then disassemble it and replace what ever it needs now ahead of time ill have a good running bike for a longtime. I never skimp on a restoration/rebuild. It's the inside that counts..

I'm into restoring tractors too. Some guys call a new paint job a restoration. I lol inside when a few weeks later there taking it apart to rebuild the engine. To me it has to run perfect before it looks pretty. I just was never lucky with the used 2t to get a good running one when I purchased them.

When I bought my first 430 the crank seals were bad that's why he sold it. I don't think the PO could figure it out and that's why I got it fairly cheap. Soon after buying my other 430's the crank seals failed. All on the drive side and would suck tranny fluid into the crank case.
