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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Look what followed me home

Fantastic, it just shows that things go in cycles ohh brand new i lover... 5 years on sold... 15 years on unseallable in back yard 30 years on in scrappy and ohh what a sezy bike must have it.. crazy, keep us posted on progress:popcorn:
 
ahh its a subtle blent of 2stroke and stupidity its english like tea but more potent, i just think its nuts that a few years back people were all over things then they get thrown away an some one says "hay remember such n such??? i really want one..." an then move hell n high water to get a banger and restore it to its former glorey, i hate throwing things away but at the moment its worthless in 20 years time it maybe worth something. no?

p.s. not calling the bike a banger an good effort on finding it. just sayin is all
 
Based on the steering neck it looks like the rear downtubes were cutoff to make it look like an ML to make a custom then abandoned. Also looks like the rake was likely steepened based on the circumference weld on the front downtube and I would bet on a matching weld on the frame backbone hidden under that poor bullet ridden fuel tank. MM or higher frame , 79 to 81 likely
 
It's a CN# frame Jim.It is cut up pretty bad I will have to take some pics it had a 2 cylinder 4stroke cramed in it somebody really screwd this bike up. And Visiteur your post made me laugh out loud that was a good one keep em coming!!

Putting a big 4 stroke twin into a Husky frame is not a crime if you do it properly. That is why I have several ML frames. Anyplace my TT500 engine will fit, so can the XS650 engine. Could make a cool vintage adventure bike.....
 
Well I was able to save the forks, trip, tree, front wheel,and the swing arm then I got a brain storm I can repurpose part of the frame so here we go!007.JPG011.JPG013.JPG024.JPG
