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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Spring project getting there, few things left.

So its almost ready, front mods.
Used forks got new seals,oil, boots and fork protectors.
Swap the wheel hub and sort out a brake hose issue.
Find a fender in the pile and bark busters to put on.

Going to do what ever to this bike, maybe some short 2 stroke mufflers too.
Would like to fab up a sweet single set up some day for it.

There is a first time for everything lol

Took 5 hours to swap hubs and true the rim, maybe not bad for breaking nipples lose and reuse spokes.

1/2 a kick with slippers, no shit.
Once you have it in the right spot, 1/2 of a full swing, easy to kick.
 
Got a new braided hose made and routed like stock. Test ride this weekend.
On to the 89 next, fork seals and tire and see why it lacks some power.
