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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ML Frames

I'm looking to buy, what I believe, is a "76" 360 (basket case). It has a ML frame number. From what I found it looks like the WR and CR used a ML frame number. Am I correct in my findings? Did the WR and CR use the same frame in "76" and "77"?
I think the only way to tell the difference is by the engine prefix ...correct?
Thank you, John
 
1978 frames are also in the ML series. And the 78 frames are different than the 75-77 frames. Can you include a picture? How about the frame number?

Marty,
I do not have the bike yet, so no picture, but the frame number is ML10237.It looks to me like a "76"?
DFA, That's the same info I had found.

Thank you both, John
 
Also, the fella I'm getting this from also has 2, 250's that the frame numbers are only 7 digits apart. I'm guessing they where pretty close on the assembly line.

Yes that is a 1976 ML serial number for the 250's. Cool to find two with serial number that close.
