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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all, new member here from Oz.
Currently have a 1983 WR430 and recently acquired a 1985 WR125 of an 80 yr old farmer - not too many of these around here in oz. He was planning of taking it to the tip so hopefully I can save it.

While the bike is mostly complete it has a damaged clutch cover and missing the ITC rear shocks .I have been scanning ebay world wide, email know vintage Husky parts suppliers eg HVA to find a clutch cover or a pair of shocks without success.

Therefore - would anyone know of a set of ITC's and/or a 125 clutch cover ( I think 84-86 are the same) available for sale? Happy to pay top dollar.

As you said, Keep you eye on Ebay, the ITC shocks come up from time to time, not cheap & most are junk. But that's what you get when working on a old bike, parts prices have jumped as the bikes get older.

Not a 125 guy so don't know about the side cover, but i think it's common with 250/400/500, pricey as well & lot of junk out there.

It must have been one of the very last 84's as it's plated 1985.

Richard,
Bike was probably an unsold 84, they re plated as an 85.
I had a 83 with 84 plastic, that was a discounted unsold from year before.
Husky Dealers did that all the time & the factory used what ever parts they
had to build bikes, even from the past year.
