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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

last night i came home with something to fill up the garage.a used to run 390 or.kickstarter is off and the fellow said it needs a return sring .last time he said it ran was about 2 years ago as he pulled it behaind his truck to start.any way i have a couple questions before i dig into it.does someone know where you get trans cover gasket and kickstart springs?what are the front and rear wheel bearing numbers and the seal dimensions?are ther some brake shoes that work best to stop this thing once i get it going?this bike has a headlight on it,i am guessing they dont come that way?i plan on racing it in the district 36 vintage bike championship so i have to get busy on it!does husky pay contingency?thanx,dan
