• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

...speaking of tweakers- are you sure that bike wasn't stolen? Some of those "mods" you are un-fixing have a meth-head look to them; and to a relatively new bike that was (at one time) taken care of.

good luck.

(I got a few other questions, but it looks like you're still posting pictures so I'll hold off. Thanks for the "fix-a-long" for lack of a better phrase)
 
sano...no more leaks...

(forgot to remove the white towel from the skid pan after wipe down....DOH**************************************** lol)

bike has a clean title....fire away with the questions sir!
 
looks super good, comment- ergo wise bars look way too high to seat ratio. saw it had large spacers under the mounts.
