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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Don't bent too much with an too sharp angle the 2 pieces you are going to weld.
It is beautifuller when the angle is a little rounded.
 
Looking to do this to an 83 125 with some stocker 84 125 parts. It will be the single behind the downtube radiator as opposed to the WR400 style twin mpounted to downtube. Going for that "early" prototype look
 
I have owned a 94 wxc and loved it for numerous years. my oldest son is now riding it so i was forced to buy another bike. I found this 86 cross country 400. the jug is a 430 and i'm told it has a 500 piston in it. I have researched but not found much info on the 400 especially the cross country. I got a title and an 87 430 cc running parts bike with the deal. I'm told the bike was raced out of Sportsman Cycles here in vegas back in the day. The title is from Nevada and I sure got boxes of parts.107.jpg

Thank you!

The single shockers seem to be some of the rarest huskys out there (dying days of swedish husky before Cagiva took over), not many are around and the ones that are seem to be in bad shape. I always like seeing a nice single shock!
