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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Finally got myself a 87 XC

Proper rear travel now, hanging on a XC shock :)
Rebuilding the $50 forks, found on facebook, they are in great shape.

Tired old crank, i don't know and don't care. Good time to fix it now.
1/2 hour or so later, a very good solid repair and off I go..

Good oil and a 4 year old heavily ridden clutch, but looking like new still.

Time for another bearing behind the basket, basket still sweet and toss some other new spare part in.
I think i should use one now, got a bunch of these in a box of NOS stuff last year on facebook.

Off the build table, still very light feeling. Picked it up as is, to set it on the stand.
Tire and wheel bearings next, ready to roll it out off the house soon.
