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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna trials prototype circa 1970s

wheels are looking good andy. my 125 project came fitted with trials tyres already. looking for 1977 175 barrel and piston next.
 
We will make an alloy cylinder liner - based on porting from a modern trials bike and will most likely settle at around 250 / 280 cc

I want to get it finished for the Telford vintage off road show in February...

Plenty to keep me occupied this winter!

I have finished the crank and the bore is going to be 78.75mm and the stroke 64.5mm. I think that is about 315cc's (quick calculation in my head....)

Frame comes back from paint next week!

Need to make the new liners...

This probably shouldn't be posted on this sight but I'll do it anyway. I just picked up a 1975 Yamaha TY 175. It still has the lines in the Knobs on the original Tires. Tool Kit has never been out of its pocket. No Dents and starts on one kick cold. 6 months ago I got a Suzuki RL 250 in the same condition. Near as I can tell these bikes never sold and the dealer gave them away years later to people who just rode them around in there back yard every once in a wile.

The only trails bike I ever rode was the 1974 Honda TL 125 version, my friend had the Yamaha TY 80? for his little kid, I will say that Yamaha is cool, so you are not alone, and thanks for the post
