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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky ITC vs. Ohlins

Thanks guys ...a little research on the site and I probably could have found it but I was in a hurry to bid on a bike.....and I am now the proud owner of a 84 250 XC !! It needs some plastic pieces which I have found sources for, but who can do a good job rebuilding the shocks?
 
see if you know any gas gas shops around, as they are pretty comfortable with ohlins...the guy i went to locally was amazed my bike was from 88 and an ohlins factory..he said it was very similiar to the shocks many gas gas have...i saw ohlins forks laying around from them as well...:thinking:...:love:

I sent mine from my 84 CR250 off to Motocentre in Yakima, WA......It will be a while before I can tell you how they work since Im just getting started on a ground up rebuild of the bike.
 
No doubt Drew is the man for the itc's, piggy backs or remotes .

He has all the stuff , checks your shafts to make sure they aren't bent over xyz thousandths, has hard to find seals,remote hoses, etc....
