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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I bought a 72 cr250 last year. frame MJ05264, engine 2018 1443. it was raced until 82 then hung in the PO's daughter bedroom till i bought it last year. it has after market plastic desert tank, Heikki Mikkola air cleaner on it (may or may not have been original to this bike) original fenders, frame painted silver over white paint, i guess thats all i can think of. I'd post a pic but I can't figure out how. I am going to vitage race it next year. Not going for all original, of course, but I do want to stay somewhat true to form. First, could this be a real GP replica? What color is the frame originally? It started 4th kick after 30 years! Clutch disks frozen. I want to send the engine out for a go thru (seals, bearings, etc) anyone have any suggestions on who to send it to? Also need the front forks revalved, new seals and I need a tad bit more travel. the first two i can do myself but the latter I will need done so they may as well do the other two as well. Also not sure how stront the MotoPlat is. it loses spark after running a few secs. I didnt check grounds but Id rather have it checked correctly before hitting the track. Also needed is a sprocket cover. Dont know what other years and engine models would have same cover. thanks all for your help!

Check with Ruwfo, he has a mechanic in NJ he used on a few rebuilds. I do not know anyone closer to you other than Al Zitta in Vermont but I am sure he has little or no Husqvarna parts left. He was the owner of Cycle Dynamics in Agawam MA unto about 1986 and sold Husqvarna from the early 70's until closing
