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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HI!

I have completely stripped and rebuilt a 1984 500 TC fourstroke Husqvarna in 1992 then won the Scottish twinshock open class in 1994. Bike been in storage since 1998. Recently stripped again and undergoing a rebuild to racing standard, in order to compete in the Scottish Twinshock club scramble events. ( in the over fiftys class! )

Currently restoring a 1984 510 TE fourstroke to showroom condition. Lights and everything to used as a super trailbike.

I also have a fourstoke bottom end i plan to renovate and add a top end to have running as a spare engine.

I have some spare parts and years of experience working on these bikes. Hope to join in and share my experiences, source parts and gain even more knowledge from like minded souls as I go through my rebuilds.

Be well. Robbie.

Hey there...Thanks... I could do with a rear swing arm and a straight side stand. I think maybe a 1998 bike would be quite different.
 
As you can see the swing arm is a peach, is like it's been attached to a wedding car and toewd across Europe. Lol
If it looks like it will fit and it is straight. It's yours.
