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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1972 CR400 Fenders

Hey Greg,
John's stuff is the best for the early stuff. DC Plastic is ok if it's just a rider. I have a fair amount of '72-'74 parts hiding in my frozen garage if you're putting one together. Rick

I've purchased parts several times from Charles Preston, Husqvarna Vintage in the UK. His fenders have been quality stuff and I just bought a set of front and rear a few months ago. His fenders are a little cheaper than John's when purchasing a full set and when buying just the front and rear you get the mud flap making the set less than John.

On the US west coast shipping costs more from the UK than San Diego, duh, but if you need other parts Husqvarna Vintage can be much cheaper even with shipping. I imagine if you're on the US east coast the shipping may be the same because John uses UPS and Charles uses USPS. UK shipping has always been 7 to 10 days.

Over the years I've purchased thousands of dollars in parts from Vintage Husky and Johns stuff has been excellent with the exception of a couple items that were not so good but hey I figure that can happen to the best of us. John does take returns only problem is he doesn't refund he only does credit and from my experience he doesn't keep track of his credits to well. He leaves it up to the customer to mention the outstanding credit and thats a problem if a few years have past.
