• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have a CR250. It has no numbers anywhere I can find. Looks like a 1978 to 82 maybe. I can't figure it out. I have check the bottom. No hole for id plate on top. I don't have a clue.

If it is a late 70's model, what is the best pipe for vintage racing. Vintage iron offers the retro rocket, butr they are for the MN frame I beleive.

Also, what about porting for vintage racing?

Thanks

Do you know where can I find an aftermarket pipe for this model, or a good stock pipe? I have the ML frame.
 
my 78 CR 250 HAS AN 8 SPLINE COUNTER SHAFT, WR 250/390 HAVE 12, (1980) IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE A WR, SAVE EVERYTHING AND BUILD A WR 390! PERFECT MOTOR FOR US OLD FARTS THAT REFUSE TO GROW OLD!
 
I checked, my engine has 12 spines on courntershaft. Does that make it a WR? Do 250 and 390 top ends interchange on this motor?
