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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

My 1884 CR125 , A bike that I found in a garage with title , that is in line for a restore after my 74 , WR400.

Hi, just joined. Here are pics of my unrestored '82 XC125 with the Husky Products 175 kit.

Thats a solid history on that one then... no doubt where its been. Ive owned 20 odd bikes and the only sales regret was the 84 240 wr in 1989. got caught at weak moment...
 
NEVER SELL YOUR BIKE ITS NOT WORTH IT YOU WILL REGRET IT (i sold my 84 125wr in 1990 weak moment f#*k i reget it) i sold my 99 125cr to my mate and he will sell it back to me when his son is done with it i still do all the work on it for him he pays for the parts and i do the work
 
Just to clarify, my current '82 XC125 is not my actual bike I had in '82, just the same model. I sold my first one in '85 in California and regretted it ever since. I've been looking for one for 15 years and never saw one until this one in Michigan. I also just last week bought an '83 WR175, plus I have an NOS '83 175 cylinder, and several '82-'83 175 pistons. I am probably going to have some new '82-'83 175 pistons made since they are rare as hens teeth NOS and I intend to race both bikes.
 
I own quite a few Huskies. Keep building, riding, changing and developing them.

This is and remains the alltime favourite.

Just went out and took some dirt bike pictures. This is my fastest hillclimb race bike at full length without the hillclimb wheel. I suppose it really only half belongs in this section. It is pretty much all Husky though except for the pro circuit made for kx500 pipe and silencer but re configured, the shock, and the color choice of the acerbes fender. The 1999 te 410 swingarm and shock will go back on it without too much effort. I had hoped the dirt would show up better.
