• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 puchased a 1983 Husky 250XC/WR project and the cyliner is stamped on both sides Erics. I was thinging maybe Erics the Husky dealer in Califoria maybe did this back in the day? Or maybe this was a former factory bike? Thanks
 
Usually means that the porting work was done there. The person doing the porting that was the signature. Later George
 
I guess that would make sense since it had some of your items on the bike. It's a strange bike-it has frame #'s of a 1983 250XC,but doesn't have the rear frame loop like a 250CR.Also I'm pretty sure it has a WR swing-arm because of the low seat height? Any idea's George?

Yes it is a WR swingarm ( brakes fixed to swingarm).
On CR or XC, the brakes are fixed to the frame.

From the pic it has the CR floating rear brake. As far as not having a rear frame loop when the got looped out and bent just cut them off. Check for a skid bar under the motor cradle thoes were cut off also so a flat skid plate could be used. Later George
