This followed me home this weekend. It's even nicer in person, looks like it rolled off the assembly line. Says it is '87 430CR by numbers but for some reason has the conventional 40mm Husky forks. I've read where some of the factory riders preferred the 40mm over the WP...really not big deal to me as 1) I am not that fast that it matters 2) like the looks/style of the conventional forks myself. Said it was completely restored/re-built by Husky Parts as a fund raiser, broke the motor in then drained all fluids and had it on display in living room until momma said "it's got to go, get it out". I'll update it as I go through and maybe add some goodies to it...I'm not sure on the pipe, think its Dynoport but not sure

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
New Husky to the herd

If it was rebuilt by Phillip at www.husqvarna-parts.com, then it would be a Dynoport as Phillip is a dealer for them
Thank you much Jim, it was built by Phillip, Dynoport it is
Yeah, wasn't thrilled with the powder coated swingarm and spring at first but looks pretty good in person
It'll be raced couple times per year, I am anxious to try it out as heard/read plenty of good things about the 430. Have a Dirt Bike mag from '87 with the 430CC in it and they spoke highly of it
Gary, you got it man, bring your 430 to Rio so I can take a spin on it as well

Wow, beautiful bike. I rode an 87 500 for a few years in the desert. Awesome handling bike not to mention loads of power for sand washes and hills. Oh geez those were fun times. Lucky that 430 is not in my garage because it would be covered in desert silt.

Nice bike! Here is me on mine back in day taking overall in Kansas.
Mine had the Dynoport pipe on it as well.
Was heavy bike but it sure did haul! I kept ripping 3rd gear out and the mating gears.
I sold mine because i waited 3 months for gears last time they went out.
