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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Odd Husky bikes

I am not sure where I saw it but someone had a picture of a 4 speed Husqvarna in trials trim and looked like a 74 CR fuel tank on top of a conference room table. One of the cooler Husqvarnas likely never built

Looks like a Speedway bike. Did Husqvarna ever make Speedway bikes? Also, I see that it is a two stroke. Something that would be rare in the speedway world. Would love to get more information on this bike.

Unfortunately couldn't I find any information about that bike at the museum, but I will very soon meet a guy that used to work there. I will ask him about it.
 
This one was built by Nisse Wedin 1976.
Honda XL350 motor tuned by powroll to 420cc.
I'm building a replica of this one at the moment
