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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No, thanks i do buy lots of stuff there, but not close enough for me.

From the side its close, but the front is weird.
 

Nice having Husky buds.
A friend swap fenders with my 500, he has an 82 fender he was saving and just loves my bike and he knows he can rip on it when she is done.

So a good hour of brute strength cleaning with SOS pads in the kitchen sink i got great results, might try a bit of clear for a new gloss look or leave it.

As for the link lets just say thats a misprint, a true 75 is on the left and true 82.

Another addition to this thread is my 82 and a 1/2 Silver Streak 500CR

Runs but awaits a nice rider restoration.
