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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yes it is a 86, can't wait to finish her off, just had the wheels relaced gold Excels, stainless spokes powdercoated oem hubs just waiting to fit tyres, wiring and just a few other odds and ends.My first left kicker.
 
Torn on the gaiter/boot thing, may protect things but also keeps in moisture and fine dust. I think I would rather see whats going on, does look good though.
 
Remove the shock and fork protection to claen and inspect, saves the fork seals, rock dings and the rear shock seal head and spring. Remove, clean/inspect, re-install simple and protective. wouldn't ride with out them.
 
Can I ask where the seat was from? Was it a recover? Just picked up a running 86 wr400 for 400.00 bucks. Looking to restore her to former glory, yours is inspiring. My seat is torn badly. I will start thread and pictures soon.
