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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Your bike looks like a 1984 model? I have an 1983 250WR, alloy fuel tank, black seat, all stock.
Looks very nice, 1984 had some changes to the engine and chassis that made them stand out.
What is your frame code?

Regards,
Team WR
 
Ok I'm slowly but surely getting this Husky Ice-Cream wagon on her legs

Just waiting on my motor to be assembled and then it will all work out nicely for the next VMX race

You guys that restore these things must almost cry the first time you take it out and abuse it. Nice work.

I took my '71 400 out about a week ago ..went 'plains' riding thru the bramble bush/weeds/dry river beds... rode right thru the stuff.
Now afterwards; I noticed the scratches on the exhaust but didn't let them stop me from riding her..
Besides, an exhaust is easy to re-do..LOL

Ya figure just tooling around even on 'hard surfaces' (pack dirt etc)
you will still marr the pipe or cases. Especially the cases from braking & shifting, so might as well enjoy ur-self
