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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just aquired this 1967 250 #670069 the pictures don't do it any justice but it is complete my father took it apart 35 years ago to put in a new ring and never put it back together he bought a wr450 instead the engine still turns over good it has a motoplat ignition (no points) that was put in, it has a 19 inch front tire the only thing that was missing was the exhaust pipe but I got a replacement threw Rick Horvat and the only other odd thing is the tank I think its off of a triumph it has a fliptop gas cap I just had to dissasemble it to get it out of the basement but the bike has been in the same family since it was new so it should be interesting to get it running again

Nice bike Chuck, I once saw a 1967 250 on ebay that was one number off from mine it was 670068 I wish I could,ve bought it it was just over in Washington state about a days drive from me in Montana
 
i think its wierd that they would use the same vin, on a 250 and a 360..the frames were the same dems...hmm, ill have to check again,,mine could have been 169 so many bikes so little memmory
 
It could have had a 1 in front of it it seems to me that the 360's had a different vin setup like that with an extra digit in there some where, you wouldnt happen to have a gas tank for a husky in that erra would you? there was one on ebay but it was pretty rough as far as cracks,id like to find a tank thats pretty close to the same year if I could I can weld one at work if its not cracked too bad
