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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello,

I'm looking for a place that works on WP forks. My 87 Cr forks are starting to leak, and need new swipers. I know husky only used this fork for a few years.

87 Cr should still have the old swedish Husky Forks. WP did not show on them until the 88 to 91 Husq-Cagivas. Might want to check the year of your bike.

WR and XC used the old Husqvrana fork.. 88 models where just carry overs from 87. 1991 models use the WP forks also shock too. I just wondered if anybody knew of a good place to have some work done on them.
 
RaceTech in Corona, California could probably take care of them... ask for Mark ( owner?)

Will try and find more contact information for you.

How far do they go back? How many years have they been in business?

In case someone else asks about an even older bike.

Both have been in business 20+ years and are familiar with that vintage WP fork and can handle anything older. It would help if photoguy gave us his location, to narrow down choices.

I live in Ohio and planed on having them shipped out. I had a set of 86cr forks rebuilt by pro-action years ago but I have contacted they have not gotten back to me.
 
Phil set up my 87 430CR back around 1989 ..He really did a great job on my WP forks and Ohlins rear shock..I used to call it my Magic Carpet Ride..
He also set up my 94 WXC 250 back in 94...major improvement...
He's came quite a ways from when i met him working out of a old parcel
truck at Carnigie in the 80's...I rode an enduro at Stonyford back around mid 90's. I was on his number,,, i saw then why he was a ISDE rider...
and I wasn't.....
