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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1967 360 Viking

I just acquired a 1967 360 Viking. Bike is in decent shape. The exhaust is crap, it rusting on the inside and is paper thin. Going to see if it will run on Saturday. I was cleaning some things up and the inner fender had been painted. After I striped it, I found the front side is textured. Is this the factory piece or aftermarket? I thought they were smooth and could be polished. Any one seen this before?
 
Hey there magnum, sorry I missed your post until now. I'm a big fan of the late 60 and early 70 Huskys. Your 67 is a fortunate find. They're not something you see much of.

I'm not sure about the 67 but the 68 Viking's inner fender was aluminum painted the same color as the frame and has no texture to it.

Here's a 67 restored by John at Vintage Husky. They are neat bikes with a ton of motocross history.

I have an inner fender that is textured on the outside, smooth on the inside. Made of plastic. I believe it
is an aftermarket item as Husky never used much plastic in those days.
