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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A Class
1979 390 OR. Bought it in 1981 when I was 16 years old. Last ride was in 1997. Put it in the back of my shed and it sat there until about a month ago. Typical story, marriage, career, kids, etc. Went Jeeping in August up around Ouray, Colorado (rented a Jeep). Watched numerous Husky's go flying around us and got me thinking. I need to get the old Husky out of the shed and get it running again. So, have it almost completely torn down and will rebuild to get it back to mechanically sound. Not a Restore project as I want to enjoy riding it again and not worry about scratches, damage, etc. Will have lots of questions on the rebuild.
 
You can't just upload pics like we used too. They have to be hosted from another site is what I gather from previous posts.

Or you can create a link on your android syle phone and email it to yourself and copy it here or attatch it to the post from the android style phone, the latter is hard for me as the screen is so tiny. Chris
