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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here are my 2 Cagiva's. An '83 WMX 125 I got in '04 and just finished this winter and an '88 WMX 250 I just built over the last few years. It was definitely a challenge to find parts…but I enjoyed searching all over the world and tracking down leads to find the things that I needed to complete them. Parts are out there but you just have to dig. I was always into the off brands…when I was a kid I even wrote a letter to Cagiva North America to ask if they had any plans to build a WMX 80!

so where did you find the plastic for your 88
a good friend is restoring his 88 125 that he raced in those days
he has NOS 87 plastic for it but wanted the 88 instead but can't find it
 
I gathered by your avatar you were French due to the location of France,
funny how the translations are hard to follow other languages, usually due to the order of the words in the respective sentences
the Italian listing does it have any pictures of the parts or just the one you posted

UFO has a Vintage plastic line. They make a front fender that's the same as what came stock on the late 80's Husky's and Cagiva's. I used their front fender and front number plate and they also have fork guards for the old White Power forks. I found a NOS left side panel in Australia, the right is one I found on ebay. I used my original radiator shrouds, just lots of wet sanding and then I made a template and covered them with black number plate background material and put the new Cagiva logo's on and then covered them with clear. The rear fender is from DC plastic for a Husky WRK 125 (same as a late 80's Cagiva 125). Plastic is the most difficult thing to find for the Cagiva's. There is an Italian guy remaking the original vented front number plates..they are on ebay but he sells them for 100 bucks. Halls Husqvarna has a lot of hard parts. I was able to get the original Cagiva rear mud flap from them.
