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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Was listed under rvs and spelled wrong(huskuavarna)& only $400. Someone started an engine rebuild but lost interest. I figured it'll make a good trail setup bike. Pictures to follow................Only took about 2.5 hours to disassemble, let the fun begin..
 
Well, some progress made. bagged, tagged and ready for the powder coater. Got a list of parts started, fork uppers are toast so will look for a disc brake front end to use. The dual shoe set-up will go on the '82. Bottom end locked-up, will need front and rear fenders, and it looks like it has the original tires on it, trellies f&r.
