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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I acquired two Motoplat ignitions yesterday from Charles Curnutts home shop. These are brand new (NOS) and never been mounted and they fit the early 70's Husky's. He wasn't sure what years but he did know they were Husky as they were given to him by Husky. I do know they are earlier than 1976 as that was the last year Charlie Jr was racing. No coils but that is not a big deal as I have a box of them. One has a diode the other doesn't. I don't know what I am going to do with them yet, since I don't own a Husky of those years....but.....it's kinda cool getting them.



 
I think actually it might have been part of a desert racing kit because as I remember the 76 and earlier WRs still had Femsa point ignition and those stators look to be setup for big lighting.
 
I found out from Chuck Curnutts youngest son that these were back up ignitions to be used on the Husky's when they raced the Mint 400 back in the early 70's. They required big lighting.
