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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Where is the best place to get your tank restored?
I live in the UK but have family in Georgia USA so either side of the pond is good for me.
I have a blue 1979 125CR tank that needs some loving!!

I did have a tank done by husqvarnavintage.com charly preston. I was happy with what he did and the tank I gave him was shot. He is in the uk and I would recommmend him.
 
Have a word with Simon Reilly at Rod Spry restorations. He goes by the name of Crankpin on the mxtrax vintage site. Lives up near Manchester. Si did my KLX250 tank and it's cracking job. He also loves his Huskys. If you need his number just PM me.

He's an old feller in a wooden building, been doing paint forever. Top quality and a proper craftsman. He just does paint but will be able to sort dents/polishing aswell. I get him to do my paint cos its A1 and cos people like that should be kept in business.
