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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

88WRK 125 back in action. I did a little father/son single-track last weekend. It was his first time riding it since coming on a KTM 85. 22 rough miles. My 15 yr old son loved it. Only stalled once. He wasn't blasting along but lugged it everywhere. I'm gonna check it out this weekend for myself.

And she goes like the proverbial from a shovel:D All I have got to find is a source of spares to keep her going.
If you don't know him already I can recommend Andy at HVA factory UK. You'll find him on line, best to give him a ring to order stuff rather than shop online.

I got some bits from Andy already but he does not have any transmission spares:( which is the bit I worry about.
Try www.huskypartsnz.com , I think they had primary clutchs and drums, selling seperately.
David Pratt at tritrophy (ebay store). Spares are hard to get and expensive!

Nice find, looks all complete and original. I just finished my Auto.
I have a 430xc motor that I'm building for a back up.

DSC_0034.jpgDSC_0034.jpg I was cleaning the place and got some of my bikes out. 1973 RT 360, 1975 GP CR 250, 1987 CR 430, 1991 WXE 250 and My 1973 Norton Commando in the background.
 
Yes my 430 was part of the Husqvarna display at Mid Ohio. Funny thing about that 430 was it was my rider race bike and trail rider. After I restored it for Mid Ohio I can't bring myself to ride it in the dirt. It sure is nice to look at though. What part of Ohio are you from?

Thanks,
Guy
