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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Vintage Husky Parts Sources 70's and 80's - discussion thread

Forest Stahl & Rick Horvat

I've talked to & used Forest Stahl, he's big time old school,NO email
& any of that modern stuff, but man does he know he's Huskys.

Call him (765) 284-7653, don't bother leaving a message as he's answering machine will tell if it's for Husky parts. Don't be put off,
he sounds like a bit of grump on he's machine message, he's a great
guy :thumbsup: .

I called him for a 390 piston, & had every thing in stock, sent him a money order & got the parts back fast :applause:.

Rick Hovat (330 995-0245) is another great Husky source who even calls you back, does a top notch job & has fair prices, rebuilds Ohlins shocks too :applause:

I am going to migrate these over to the Vintage parts thread with credit to you!

Hi folks, after spending a couple of days at home working on my '85 500AE project, trying to find decent and reasonably priced major pieces I still need (tank, seat and pipe), I decided to search Google.se (the Swedish Google site) and discovered this site, which I haven't seen on CH before -

http://www.husqvarnaclassic.se

Everything is written in Swedish but it's easy enough to work out what's what. And of course you can always use Google Translate for bits you can't work out. The prices are quite competitive I think (for example, they have what seems to be, completely new, unpainted, alloy tank for an '83 for approx. £50 more than what the equivalent Clarke plastic unit costs).

Have a look !!!
 
www.eurodirt.com
Good source of older tank decals including the harder to find Enduro and Sportsman models. Worked with me on coming up with date and model specific manufacturers tags (Husqvarna Vap). Cannot say enough about his email correspondence...even on Sundays!! There is also an assortment of vintage decals, parts, flyers, magazines, and tools from other manufacturers. Should mention though that there are other misc items for sale on website including adult charms.
