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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Are the 82 and 83 swingarms interchangeable, only picked up an arm at a motojumble that was labelled as an 82 but it was white and looks identical to my 83 CR250 ?

Cheers Rathers :confused:
 
Well yes they both will fit into the frame and engine the same. Isn't there a length difference just between models in the same year. The silver frames have the shock mount significantly farther from the swingarm pivot than the white ones. I doubt the silver ones and the white ones have the shock mount in the same spot. I don't know about how used parts prices are lately but a complete swingarm with good bearings and race on one side used to cost less than the bearings and race thing which looks like a piston wristpin. It seems for 1984 or there abouts they added a nut near the axle on the chain side so the chain forces are contained from both directions, that would be the one to look for. It isn't just in the used parts at swap meets and ebay where there are errors about years and fitments.
