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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'83 250CR getting close

Husqvarna
AA Class
She's getting close, quick mock up today. Once the pipe comes in along with the Pro Circuit pedal and new shock springs, she'll be off to Diamond Don's. Really could only find one option that made sense to mount the PC boost bottle. Not sure if will use or not with the new V-Force reed set-up but what the heck. Not sure if I like the gold legs but had them on the 500 and already have the RaceTech emulators set up in them. I'll post when it's totally done. Ride safe---Rhett

Was never a fan of the white Huskys but bikes like this have changed my mind. Sweet looking bike you have there. Well done!
 
Hi Rhett-black or the unpainted silver seen to look the best on the fork legs.I also thing the yellow shock springs look good.
 
Nice bike....
kind of partial to the 83....
matches my 'ol Ten Fins...

If you want some serious wake up snap to that motor, I might offer that you make (or purchase if you can find one) a power now blade for her.

I build one for my XC500 and OMG.....what a difference in throttle response, low end bark and pull....could NOT believe the night and day difference...
and already had the alum sheet.

Are you forks gold or just stripped of the white paint?

I like the color of em....
nicely done!!

Bulto,
Nicely done 250. Looks capable. Pics of the boost bottle set-up?
.....82'/83'/86'/08'..... Would love to see the rest of the clan!!
 
Where did you get the boost bottle and pipe? What were the part numbers for the RT fork emulators? I have the same bike and am looking to do some mods
 
LTC, you can get the RT kit from husqvarna-parts as for the boost bottle and cylinder I bought them off a fellow Husky rider. The pipe is stock but will have a new one shortly hopefully. Bill, aka 1983XC175 had a batch of special V-Force reed cages built you might check with him to see if he has any left. Thanks for your service
