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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

sorry about the picture will take another later, bike was never going to be a show pony, just a race bike. Got the wrong size shocks to start ended up with 14.25" after talking to jeff hall husqvarna. Bike is ready to go except for a lower chain roller I am going to put on. seat base needed repairing, and she fired up second kick after rebuild. Found some info on the net, an article from FOX stating when they bought the air shocks out in the early 70s, brad lackey and husky was their first big signing, followed by howerton on the husky.

Why is your front wheel on backwards or is that the way this bike was, never seem it like that before on an old husky, am im definatley no expert? ? No front brake stay either?

Looks like a nice rider though, so when you get the opportunity, post some action shots!
 
Hi I aint no expert either, the front wheel is the early one with the brake plate lug on the inside of the fork securing the plate, (75 forks with extenders, not leading link) the brake cable I thought went that way as per this picture. I have however seen the brake on the other side as well.DSCN1342.jpg
