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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello to all Husky owners...this is my first post. I have a 1980 CR250 that I have owned from new. Rode it quite a lot in the early 80's but then other priorities came along so it just sat around for the next 20 something years. I have recently completed a thorough restoration and had my first ride day in 25 years with the Husky going as strong as ever, unfortunatley the same can't be said for the unskilled rider but great fun none the less.

Ok, does anyone know if the DLS brake backing plate can be fitted into the older SLS hub? Does the DLS brake offer a really big increase in stopping power compared to the SLS anyway?

Lastly, I would like to say a big thanks to all the people responsible for this great site...a valuable resource.

Cheers, Mark
