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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

RAL for 500 cr 82 grey tank.

I can't say with certainty what the tank paint formula is but I did have good luck using a Volvo paint code from 1975 to match the maroon color on my 74 460 tank project, in fact it was perfect. I think you'll find that the 82 Silver Streak tank color is the same as the 82 Volvo silver paint. The same may apply to the red stripe too.

Paint Ref is the place I go for such info. https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?color=Mystic Silver&tditzler=33313&rows=50

Also, theres a color pic of the 82 500 in a Cycle mag article for comparison. Go to the link and scroll down to 1982.5 500CR...CY.pdf to download.
