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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi guys,
Looking for advice on where to find fork seals for a '74 250WR (gray legs) and also "Husqvarna" tank decals. Also advice on the red tank paint.
Any help appreciated,

Fork seals can be obtained from any bearing/ seal supplier. I take in my old seals, they measure them rather than trust mine, and they get me what I need for a fraction of the price from a vintage supplier.
Also if you know the dimensions in mm for OD, ID, and H(height), you can get good deals in several eBay stores.

Tank decals you should be able to get those from www.vintagehusky.com

There are several Husqvarna paint code references in the PDF of Husky Club newsletters

Try to compound and polish the tank so that a true color match can be done from it. There is a brochure on vintagehusky.com site that is under Id Your Husky,find the 250 series, and click on the blue for the 1974 250WR and that will bring up a photo of the original brochure.
 
Vintage husky has everything you could need on this machine and it all comes with years of husky expertise and a price tage to match...you can have it cheap or good but no both...
