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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

When I go to Finland and Sweden there is so many of these old HVA 's pre 74 stuff it's son nice just walking through the pits trying to talk to the riders.

Snowbanks finally subsided enough so that I could get my new Husky out the door, my dining room looks so empty without a bike. Unfortunately, it failed the inspection for a plate "too loud" but everything else got the ok. I'm having the exhaust repacked, the guys at my local shop think they can get it quiet enough to pass, I'm not sure what this will involve, there is not much of space in that pipe to work with. I'm hoping for a more sympathetic cop next time.
 
hopefully it will work, sounds like you are pretty close to making it happen...if the packing is oil soaked, broken down, or just missing a repack will help quite abit. will help power especially throttle response as well.
 
Never had a problem with my tail, it just follows behind and flaps in the wind. I tie it in a couple of knots if I want to keep it out of the way when I'm working on something messy or dangerous. Still waiting for the work on the exhaust to get done, I can live with it a little quieter, but I hope my poor Husky still sounds good after being muzzled.
