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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

As requested: Husqvarna Cousins

After 1989 Cagiva put Husqvarna Graphics on thier Two-strokes and they pretty much stayed the same till 2013.At least the 250-300 platform.

My bike is all mixed up then. 1988 engine data plate. 1989 VIN made with cagiva everything, except Husky side covers and stickers. So 1989 Cagiva with Husky branding.
 
1990 saw a redesign, 1991 saw a redesign, 1992 was the redesign that stabilized things for years to come. 1989-1991 are the years that are hard to find stuff for, lots of one-off model year parts..for two strokes anyway. the four strokes werent changed much as they kept using the swede design mostly.
 
Seems 89 was a case of;
'hmmm we have all these old bits n bobs laying around, the geeks and bean counters are planning something new...let's assemble Frankensteins till we're told not to'.

For the parts listings, its taken until just last week to realise I could go to the wmx/wxe(USA) parts manuals

And to think my next bike could be a Honda bitzer... New 2001 CR500 in a new CRF250X chassis. Glutton for punishment.
