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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

i wouldnt say its my dream bike but its a very cool husky..:thumbsup:
im thinking the original tire would be a metzeler of some sort...i run metzeler uni cross on all my swedes. great traction over many conditions, keeps decent traction as the knobs wear as well. probably not the lightest out there but very durable. they definitely look great on an older bike as well. ive bought about 6 of them so far and i havent bought my last. they are also dot approved as well.
 
i never imagined ever owning one of these but it fell into my lap and i am quite curious
it is a Metzler, never seen one of this type before, will look in the AM to see the type
i also run the UniCross on some of mine, mostly front as they are multiple terrain
 
looks like it has a 5 spring clutch which is interesting..alot of the spare wheels i have had a metzeler mxr on them, think those were discontinued awhile ago tho.
if it were me i would be very tempted to fit a thumper model lectron. that bike is going to be freaking sweet when you are done.
