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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

74 MAG 250 Question

Hi All,

I picked up a set of forks from a local eBay seller today to repair the fork tubes on my 86 400WR. The guy happens to have a MAG 250 and asked my if I knew of where he could get an orginal aluminum OEM fuel tank to replace the steel fuel tank currently on the bike. I looked at the tank closely and recognized the profile of the tank I have seen on other late 70's CRs. I told him it was probably the original tank in need of repaint. He seems to feel that the OEM tank for the MAG is aluminun and I am sure it was steel. He hopes I am right and he would like to know for sure before he commits to refinishing what he has.
 
Is it the same tank that is on the 125 in your profile picture? That seems to be what he has with all the paint peeled off
