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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just picked up a low hour 175wr ,the guy had taken it apart to put in rings and lost the pipe in a move. The bike is complete less the pipe even had the full tool kit unused . Any idea were to find a pipe or does anything interchange? This is the gp motor with the extra transfer ports

The pipe from a 75 or 76 125 WR(if they were made) should be the same. The only difference between the 125 and 175 is the bore size in the same cylinder.

Good luck finding either. You can check on eBay and Craig's List but I do not think they sold in big numbers because the 175 disappeared for a few years. You might find one at hva-factory.com or have one built. You can try to adapt a thru the frame pipe from a PE175 Suzuki or KDX175 Kawasaki. Or maybe one from a Yamaha IT175 or 200.

Those old left side pipes are the hardest to find replacements for.
 
Give Vintage Husky a try. John has many used parts from bikes people have given him over the years. Be aware, hes not giving the stuff away.

Ditto for John, he is only 10 miles away from me and has been very helpful on my parts requests, plus no shipping :) Very cool shop too by the way:applause:
 
Thanks for the leads , I know this is a odd ball, two year only motor ,and nothing is cheap . It was just to good of a deal( must be why I have so many they were all good deals LOL)
 
Pics! We need pics!

I agree with Surprise... spend a few dollars on a well-designed pipe. I picked up an 82 175 recently and have been learning. Seems the 175 really needs it's own pipe rather than trying to share a 125 design.
 
vintage husky had a original 175 gp pipe ,nice guy not real bad on the price says it is nice and $200 I will post pictures as soon as its together. thanks for the leads worked out great
