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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No sorry its not mine and i know Rod wont let any of Mel's stuff go any where. I would love to have it too as a memento of my best friend who passed away 20 years ago.
 
No make on the cover, we did buy it at the Husky dealer.

Got a new screen saver thanks, like the 250 on its stand print with pine wood background on the pine table. Liking the the tyres too..
 
Cool, i supplied the last one you had too??

Gone through the bike serviced all the bearings, still good no rusty grease.

New bars, grips, busters and guards. Did the fork seals then swapped in the 84 dual pull front rim and brakes.
Got the 84 tank ready and looking better, found another seat cuz thats the nice one for the 500 xc.
Need a new rear tire and i'm thinking WR rear fender would be nice and then its going to be a great little bush bike.
