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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Anybody have any good or bad experiences with them?
Thanks!!

I really like them, the guards are really well made and durable.
The only Neg I have had so far is that I've had 2 issues in less than a month with "The Man"
In Nevada, two asshats at DMV refused to register my California plated 610 stubbornly proclaiming "that's a dirt bike" "it doesn't even have signals!"
Went to different DMV (30 miles away) and they accepted the Husky Web site and the EPA sticker...
Then a couple days ago I got pulled over and they guy was kind of a twit and said "is there any reason you are driving this motorcycle on city streets with no turn signals whatsoever!
I pointed out that it did in fact have all four, fully functional, but then he took the opportunity to look for ANYTHING else he could find.
