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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

IMG_8345.JPG This is my 1978 250cr. Works great after i put the Lectron carb. Just finished changing the woodruff key after that broke, left me without a spark, and sent me on a wild goose chase trying to find the spark again :). But now everything is perfect.

IMG_7518.JPG This is my HarleyHusky, I know it doesnt belong here, but it has some parts from my 1978 125cr that I couldnt just leave in the garage. So I made this together with oslomotorcycles. A really cool looking, part husky, part harley, tracker, that runs like a motherf/&%#er. 1200cc, striped down, husky tank, husky handlebar, custom seat, fenders, wheels etc.
 
Didn't know Girlings were rebuildable.

They usually aren't rebuildable, but I remember Super Hunky (Dirt Bike magazine), has and article on drilling a hole in the body, draining them out, refilling them & then tapping the hole for a bolt, so they were sort of rebuildable.

Hmm, I'll have to give that a try. Maybe put a Schrader on and try a gas charge.
 
Hey guys, been looking around the forum for quite a while. Lots of good stuff going on here. Here's my 1980 390 Auto. She's up for sale, so let me know if you are interested.
