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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking at a 1987 Husky wr430. need some advice

It is obviously an 87-88 in the picture due to the black tank, and other plastic parts. For those years and the 40mm forks look at how far from the bottom of the fork the axle is. This doesn't look like wr to me. Note no frame loop over the rear fender, no chain guard, no headlight assembly. The seat and side covers look clean but the enduro or cross country has been removed from the swingarm so who knows.

is the VIN available, it will give the difference
and I agree with the forks, sub-frame chain guide, headlight etc. missing and being so clean I would be surprised if this is a WR
still a clean bike, I would buy it if I was there, do a little negotiating
