• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 to find old Huskys?

With the increased popularity of social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), it seems to be harder to find old Huskys for sale at the usual places. Have been using Craigslist, eBay, Mark’s Vintage Swapmeet, but have noticed a drop-off of old Huskys (68 – 78) for sale in the last year or so.


Any favorite sources out there or other suggestions?

And that's the trick, constant searching, asking friends and new people you meet. Last spring i scored 2 1971 c enduros for a very reasonable price. But you gotta be the first to ask. I bet there are tons of bikes moving under the radar between friends and acquaintances and we'll never know until they post it on a forum. I'm sure there are plenty waiting to be saved, I doubt we've restored all of them,:busted: just look at some of the POS I've bought!:cheers: ! Chris
 
Search tempest which searches Craiglist. Why are you searching? Just want to post what you find in a thread on here? Entering events with similar and you might come across some way or another. Join a trail rider association and put up a want ad. These have worked for me in the past. It is going to be harder I would think. The parts are worth more than the whole, right? A lot have been broken down by now.

Eventually folks figure they are to old to start them. Or bang up their lower extremities and decide to make their last. And do not want someone near and dear to crash on them.
