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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Packing a Husky in the back of my pickup is good for "magnetic attractions", ie- more bikes. As usual starts like this " I have one of those back behind......" Well this guy had three and when he said behind he meant I dont know how I'll get them out of there yet. Major undertaking to get to them to see what they were but I saw one Ive been really looking for, 72 and older. Hoping for a 400 Cross but it is a 72 CR400. Others were 76 WR360 and a 76 WR250, 250 missing tank, seat, carb, 360 missing rear wheel but all are rust free. My interest is in the 400. Complete other than fenders, carb is suppose to be in the "shop" Has Fox rear shocks. Couldnt find engine number and could'nt see if it turns over either. They are behind a shop and fence just wide as the bars. Best price of all, FREE! Tank was just sitting on it so I brought it home, pretty good shape, one small "knee dent" in "shiny".
Started with Husky's in 80 so I'm a newbie to this vintage. Pros-cons with this 72? Would like to and will, make this a vintage racer. Parts off of the 76 WR's be any upgrade? Forks look the same. Wife actually said "about time you found a bike like the ones "On Any Sunday"
