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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here are the top ends of the above bikes, on the right is the 84 part #1614513 on the barrel, no # on the head on the left is an 85 Part # 1614496 on the barrel, 1614498 on the head.. The liner material is also different.
There is also major diferences to intake porting (sorry crap camera, cannot show it.

So how rare are these 84CRs, did many make it to Canada? l have a complete one, with the factory upgraded clutch side caseing,

l was going to part it out.........................but now im thinking of rebuilding it, l would be nice to have somthing that was worth more than the sum of its parts in the end though, just for a change:banghead:

Thanks

I understand completely! I'm not into vintage rebuilding (although they look really cool) so I cannot offer any input. Someone may in the future though, the amount of vintage people seems quite large on CH and growing daily.
