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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

oh man IT's! had a '84 (i think?) 490 with a YZ piston i think i had some some port work too with a DG pipe etc. etc....loved the smaller IT's awesome goat trail bikes darn near climb anything and fast with that 6-speed. small displacement last generation IT's like the 200 were the best air coolers around IMO love those things.
 
the last gen it's were pretty good. mate had a 490 L and was keen to ride my husky. i was stunned at how good the forks brakes and motor were. even the shock was great....for some reason here the k and L IT big bores are worth a fortune...10k+ all the time?

the early its with the big monoshock were a drama...over the bars city if more than 3 bumps were hit in a row:D
 
diggin the CR and the OG Red Frame Katoom with the Sinisalo decal lurkin in the shadows man that brings back memories 91 i think the 125 enduro was a scream.
 
I guess this is why it hold 1600cc's of gear oil.... cause 600 will be on the floor before you roll out of the garage,,, ha ha ****************************************!
 
Husky oil leak at the shifter shaft. That’s an o ring. I have that o ring in my dresser junk draw for over 25 years now.
