• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Andy,
Would you consider selling some "kit" parts and a full set of build instructions? I'd love to build this bike!
 
What is the suspension; Magicals, Rock?
Bike looks fantastic! Hope you're going to put a skid plate on it.
 
VERY cool bike.

post a picture of the other side. Expansion chamber must be crazy small. Has it been ridden? Power?
 
Got her running today!!! Just chucked some fuel in the plug hole to see if the ignition is working ok, and away she went! (Don't want any fuel in the tank before the Telford show).

Need to make the sump guard and maybe some side panels next week....

The bike looks even better from the other side - but you will have to wait until after the show, as I want some press exposure and I won't get that if I release too many pics!

I have enough parts to build 2 more!

Andy.
 
The bike looks sweet! I was wondering if you know how the tubular exhaust & slim silencer will effect the power?
 
Yes, It's beautiful!! I love it!! How does it preform? Do you like the way it handles and reacts in sections?
 
You don't think he will get it dirty do you ......
I'm still waiting for my test session on the next one !
 
This one is going in the MX World Museum in Sweden - so although it runs, it won't get dirty! I am building 2 more, one of which will go to Sweden with me in August to ride at the Arsracet event...

Andy.
 
Andy, really nice!

there are a couple of 125 trial bike's pikkies Visiteur1948 has posted, page 163.
I didn't recognize them, maybe you haven't seen them?.
That red 1960 one looks a little like a scooter tho, the low center probably has it's limitations I suppose :thinking:

Interesting also as well were the Swedish army 250 auto AND the US Arny ones too.
