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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trying To Update An 87 Xc Brakes And Suspension

Mine are all 81/82, but they take the 45mm Marzocchi swap as a direct bolt on. Here's one I have with complete 2004 front, wheel, axle, brake, forks, triples, stem, bearings. And please don't be critical of my "beautiful ugly duckling." My bikes get ridden.

Could you tell me what model they came off of ? I want to do this mod.....had a early 90's TE350 front end and it didn't work out. Thank you much

The one in the pic is from a 2004 Husky TE. Husky used the same gold 45mm Zoke forks from last year or two of 90's through at least 2006. I was lucky to find a complete 2004 front with very little use. I got the triples, forks, wheel, and brake. Bolts right on. It's been my go-to swap for the Swedish models. Have not tried fitment on any other (Cagiva and beyond).

Keep in mind the stock shim stacks are junk. In fact, it's considerably more accurate to call them sham stacks. But they revalve super easily, they have the "H" down on the fork lug, and THEY'RE GOLD!!!
