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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My '75 CR250

I used Simoniz satin matt from Eurocarparts. It turned out quite good. I might find it will come off after the first race though!
 
I hope you fare better than me Colin. After entrusting my motor to a local powder coaters, who assured me it was ok for engines ..... I found they were wrong ! I should have sent it to Rod Spry and had it done right. He did my old KLX motor a few years ago, that gets hot, but it still looks good as new.

At least you can touch yours up cheaply. Stunning looking bike by the way.

Thanks Grouty. It looks good now but we'll see how it looks after the first race in a couple of weeks. It was made for riding so it's bound to have a few battle scars in a couple of months!

A couple of friends ride CCM's up here in the Scottish Classics I think you might know and I work with Jim Allison.
