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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What do you guys think?

Sweet lookin' old vintage bike. Don't forget to pull that rag outta the exhaust port and put a pipe on it before you ride it tho'......:D
 
Frog,

Very nice bike, 1st time i've seen that lug on frame for top chain roller
used, only thought that was used on the 125 & 175 only.

Very very nice Frog. Where are the plastics from? and would you recommend them? They look great.

I'm also liking the workshop and pickup truck in the background :)

also fix the front brake cable, add the left rear side plate mount bolt/bracket, and put a washer on the gas tank mont bolt etween the rubbers as those tanks are a bee-yatch to paint and mint ones are getting scarce. Good eye on the top roller too.never saw before except on the tiddlers. Very nice though.......VERY nice!:thumbsup:

Hey Guys-glad you like it,yes I have a few things to do. I'm looking for the hex piece the front brake cable goes thru to the fork leg. And I will buy a complete chain tensioner also. The tank is MINT,not a dent or ding in it.Another week or two and it will be done.The plastic is DC it's prettygood,if you want glossy stuff Phillip at Husqvarna-parts.com has that.Thanks

No rear frame loop...

I noticed this also,my 1984 250XC had one. It looks like a CR frame,but I checked the #'s XC. And it doesn't look to be cut,too clean and same place as CR models. I think they look better without the loop any way.:thumbsup:

Agreed, that's the reason I took mine off my 83 XC
