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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey all, where can I find suspension travel lenghts for PV huskies? Or does anyone know if a 78 husky can be run in the historic AHRMA class?
 
Thanks John, I read the AHRMA rules and the GP is 78 to 81. So I would run against yamaha mono shockers. I don/t remember if any others were single shock back then. I'm looking for a 250 and I found a 78 cr. I just have to see what my options are for what class I can race. I know the age groups can run any PV bikes.
 
Don't worry about the Yamaha mono shockers, there pigs (weight:eek: ) compared to lightweight Huskys :thumbsup: , i raced a 78 250CR it's a great bike.

Post Vintage I have a 78 CR250 that's where they run...Where in NY are you?
 
Aren't the 40mm forks to long for the 78? (9.5" travel vs 11.2" travel)
I have 40's on my 79, but the 79 has the new frame. I don't think they would work on a 77/78.
 
78 is no doubt grand prix. 76 CR is latest for CR 250 in historic. Historic has 9 " travel lmit on both ends. 78-83 Husky is Grand Prix, Good news is water coolers and PV and disc kill many early 80's MX 250 from Grand Prix and bump them to Ultima

Look for a set of enduro forks with the short bottoms, my friend has them on his 78 Auto and I have a set ready for my 78 250CR you can adjust the height in the Triples. You need a 78 Timken frame ML 22000 I think was the begining of the Timken frame and the Trees from an 82 or newer frame.
