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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

They look real nice.
I'm going to build my own pipe first just to see what happens on the dyno.
Jerker the dyno owner is a Two-Stroke guru and have many fun things in his garage.
Like an 88cc 24hp drag race moped.
Crazy dude.

Hahaha, That's amazing.

How about a Rotax 400 cylinder on a YZ250 bottom end.
Aprilia 250 Centrifugal/Dryclutch and so on and on.

And his streetbike is an Öhlin Yz360 with supermoto tires.

He didn't want to adopt me.
I asked twice.

the first thing i would do in you position is to look at the cylinder ports
as cast they were ROUGH, a clean up and knife port the transfers
you might be surprised how much power that will net you

Rough edges have been smoothened out but nothing have been done to the ports or transfers.
Just the roughest edges is gone.
I won't take it apart this season because I have just put it back together with new piston (Mahle) and gaskets.
But next winter it will be done =).
