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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1982 125/175

Hey! I used to live in Edwardsville, I was just there last week over Christmas, my Sister still lives there.

No, unfortunately you didnt find a piston for the '82, you found one for the '75-'76 175 which is a completely different animal. The '82 kit piston is different than the '83 production piston, but that doesnt really matter because none of either one exist. Halls doesnt have any, George wont have any either. One of these days I will finish my rod swap that will allow us to use an off the shelf Yamaha Blaster 200/Banshee 350 piston. The problem is, even as a 175 that engine is pretty gutless, so that project is on the back burner.

Funny, I've also been to Edwardsville 16 years ago for a boomerang competition !

I have also a 175 top end which I believe to be a 1982 ( no black paint).
My liner is smoked. Are the 175 liner still availiable ?
Are 82 liners the same than 83 liners ?
Thanks

I think you guys have saved me a lot of trouble. I am going to pass on this and look for something that I can access
parts more readily. A 250 maybe. I will keep my eyes open, something will turn up.
I am up in holiday shores, the drinking community with a boating problem. Lol.
 
175 hva doesn't exist in Europe. If I 've been in other side of Atlantic,
I would have bought it. Lighter than a 250, more power than a 125.
175 pipe is very rare.

Do you have pics of the 175 for sale ?
 
DAMN WISH I HAD THE CASH

My Sister and Brother in Law live in Holiday Shores! Thats crazy. I cant believe the Beacon Inn is closing, that place was there forever.

I saw this bike in person at the White City AHRMA Cross Country race in 2012. It is in good shape, but the jetting needed some work. I think he DNF'd Saturday and didnt come back Sunday. A couple pics of my '82 125XC with the 175 kit at that White City race in '12.
