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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

just purchased 1979 cr 390 what is difference between 78-79-80 and what fuel mix you guys running cheers
 
What's the Dif?

The Frame, airbox & suspension differ from 1978 to 79 or 80, Husky upgraded these parts,in 79. 78 still had the metal airbox,79 & 80 has
a plastic one with flip opening lid (no tools needed).

Frame is different,& not just the air box area.
1) how the seat mounted was changed in 79 & again in 80
2) they dropped the rear fender loop on the CR models
3) suspension was increased in length in 79 & again in 80

Motor was changed from 79 to 80, the cylinder bolts were spread
so they could make the 81 430. So a 79 & 80 top end are not
the same.

Probably more, it's just too early to think 100%:doh:

i Run 32 to 1 in all my Huskys
