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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This is my first Husky, just picked up this '76 250 WR.

Seems fairly stock to my untrained eye, excluding the Marzocchi piggyback shocks.

This is my 1982 420AXC. It is a very low hour original bike. Still has the Husqvarna "H" showing on Barrum rear knobbie

Did you just buy that? Seems that I just saw that bike for sales somewhere, Craigslist or something. Anyway, very nice looking bike!

74 400 was a CR changed to WR. Not restored just brought back to life as a rider. Vintage Husky triples, race tech emulators and springs. race tech rear shocks. Circle F pipe. Mag swing arm. Renthall bars. Excell rims with stainless spokes. Loving every minute of it.
