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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey does anybody have a spec sheet or brochure for one of these.
I have done a few searchs and carnt find much info.

The Gurtner carb should be replaced with a Bing or Mikuni if it has not already been done, otherwise it's typical solid Husky.
 
I have been told that ot has a seat height of 930mm which is lots more than the 800mm in the brochure.
I actually think from the pics it might be a 77?
The side stand is on the swingarm not the frame.



 
I had a 76. Looked just like this one. Its right around the 800mm for seat height. Looks like a later pipe on it. Mine had the pipe down the left side. Yours could be a 76 or 77.
 
Does anybody have a brochure for a 1977 WR360?

Is there any difference between a CR & WR frame on the 76 models.

Just trying to work out why this one is a bit taller than it should be.
Has a 76 frame number on it. Pretty high one though just below ML15000.
 
That is a later (probably 390) pipe and those shocks are MUCH longer than stock, they look like 15" and stock were in the 13.5" range.
 
Yes, original shocks on the 76 were only 12 3/4" long. The swingarm appears to be 1977 (or later?) with the integral kickstand and chain rub pad. The ignition cover and pipe (as was already said) are later as well.

I have to look and see if I have more info/pics on the 77.

Could be a very late model that Husky used 77 parts on and/or someone "upgraded" with newer model parts. Whatever the story, VERY nice bike!!! :thumbsup:
 
The 360WR did not come ever with the crossover pipe from the factory as 1977 was the last year for it and it was a leftover 1976 at that. Kartwheel is right, it would have to be a 390 pipe as the 250 pipe likely has a smaller mount at the cylinder.
 
That is a 390CR pipe. Better pipe, if a little louder. The 390WR pipes had a circlip holding the end cap of the silencer and a spark arrestor inside.
The bonus with that pipe is it does not burn your left thigh as much as the 360 one.

Cracking looking bike :-)
 
I have a 79 cr390 pipe on my 78 cr250. It fit right on, fit the flange and all. But I'm not sure what flange is on it as the motor is a 76.
 
I went and saw it in the flesh and its bit taller than i was looking for.
Good bike, ran nice as well.
