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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do You Race Your Old Husky?

Do you race your old Husky and if so, with which organizations?

I raced my 78 250CR in one AHRMA Cross-Country event and will race it next weekend at an AVDRA Motocross. I will probably run it in a few AMA District 36 Cross-country events this Fall.
 
Yes. We have a Midwest VMX series. Covers three states. I have a 78 250CR also and a 74 360CR I race.

Nice looking '78 2whlr! What fork springs are you running in your '78 250CR? I put in some .44kg springs in mine, but they might be a bit soft (I'm 200lbs).

Don't know. I'm running the springs that came with the bike. I have no idea, if they are original. I'm 185lbs, Expert level (for VMX) rider and they work for me. But I feel like I'm on the edge of needing stiffer springs, if I weighed more.

I know it has 20wt oil in the forks, but don't know the exact level.
 
My old Husky has been on the track with Supermoto USA and will probably get run on flattracks and maybe even road raced once I get the magneto sorted out.
