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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Weird things happen to me......

I purchased a '78 kick starter shaft by accident. I thought it was the kick starter. The seller had the shifter link setup with shafts too. A fast forward a few weeks later I purchased a '78 complete 250wr with the kick starter and shifter welded to the shafts. Do I feel lucky that it maybe the only thing that's welded? I have the replacement shafts. I need a 250wr bike for my step grandson. I let him ride my 84 250wr and he loves it. But it's weird that I purchased the parts to repair the motor before I bought it.
 
Never go wrong buying any husky parts especially if you stick with em. Cause there WILL ALWAYS be another one in the garage (can't believe I'm up to seven of em) and there is good cross compatibility between a lot of them.

Never argue with fate, seize the moment, grab those parts. It's not a never ending supply I'm sure.

This thing of having an ownership of something before it happens always happens to me. I repaired my half brothers car it was a 63 Chevy impala s/s. I fixed the rear end. Something told me I was going to own it someday. Two months later it got stolen and they took the 409 engine. I bought the body.
