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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

73 Husqvarna 400 enduro on Pawn Stars

I heard about this episode but had never seen it. Thanks for posting it. As most of you probably noticed their 400 enduro was a 400 CR. They got an awesome deal for $125. If anything theres $1000 in parts. Didn't see any rust on the spokes and it looked like they reused the wheels which tells me they where straight. The shocks were Curnutts, no rust on the chrome fork tubes, pipe looked in good shape, tank was without dents. Kind of sad to see it all cut up but then again it was also interesting to see the strange outcome.
 
uuggghhh, what the heck...wonder if it even still made the power the stock exhaust had?? should have put some kind of chamber on it
 
I feel really sorry about that bike should have been a simple restore!! those guys whacked it into oblivion


ps that ultra long header to the end just made it run like a weak fourstroke
 
"modern bikes have like three feet of travel" ha ha ha

No expansion chamber and no smoke. Bet they ran it without oil int he fuel. Goofy.
 
Thanks for ruining my day! LOL Sad sad sad sad sad... Did I say sad?:cry: I agree, total waste when a full restore would be priceless and would sell fast.
 
I bet Kelly is right and they ran straight gas in it, and the "running out of gas" story was just a cover for seizing it up.
 
They "Pimped" that bike right into the dumpster. WTF.... Same buyer that buys that would have bought the one with the Briggs and Stratton or the Evinrude for that matter.
 
Yea I don't know much about old bikes but I figured even though it was CR400 that they were considered enduros? Idk. Guys gonna put himself out of business, putting that exhaust on a 2 stroke made him look like a moron.
 
I can't believe anyone would spend that much money to end up with that POS.
And then actually think he's gonna make money. He's more stupid than he looks.
 
that's the equivalent to me stealing the mono lisa for $25.00 from someone that didn't know what they had, then taking it to a butcher that never painted before and asking him to paint a mustache on her, thinking I could re-sell it for millions of dollars.
 
If they were somewhat smarter, Chumley would have taken it to either Vintage Husky or Vintage Iron. Either would have sent them down the correct path or would have bought from him just to keep it from ending up as what it did
