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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1979 Husky 390 Cr Gearing Question??

Rojotes390CR

Husqvarna
C Class
I just bought a restored 1979 390 CR that has what I think is the stock 13/53 front to rear sprocket sizes. What type of top speed in 6th gear is this going to give me? I had an 1983 Husky 250 XC which was pretty long legged which I liked. Do not remember the sprocket sizes on that one? Thanks!
 
Using a on line chart this makes it a 4.08 geared bike. Holy smokes! Climb a mountain. Think I may drop 3-4 teeth on rear.
