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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

SMS is all decals.
I considered pulling all the decals and flat-blacking the whole bike... not sure though...

Can you blacken that type of soft plastic?? I´d much prefer it black too.

It's already painted white, I don't see why you couldn't clean it, rough it up a bit and paint it black. Use some good quality paint and keep it fairly thin and you should be OK.

Here are the part #'s:

Hall's is selling them for nearly 24bucks a pop. If you do replace them I'd suggest covering them with a clear sheet decal to protect them. Something like a roll of masking for glass etching would work. Replace as needed so you don't have to keep buying expensive new Husky decals.

My CCM has the same type plastic ... and paint just peels off. I´ve heard it mentioned that there´s some type of blacking process that stays on and looks good, but have not seen it yet.

If you didn't want to paint, you could always get some of the vinyl sheeting like they use to black out car hoods. Any ricer shop should have some, just needs a little bit of stretch to get the edges.
Or find some self-etching primer before painting black.

Thanx for all the advice. But the black option sounds a bit tricky. Think the best idea is to get the original decals and just be more careful. They certainly are easily damaged.

I used to use these on my sportbike tanks:

Maybe if you contact them, they'll sell sheets you can cut yourself.
Their film is static cling. They also sell 3M film that has some adhesive. The 3M is the route I'd go.
