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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So far only have done Dubya wheels. Getting bored in the winter so I'm going to start building soon.

I myself was running the Flo Motorsports pegs on my FE 501. Put them on when the bike was new. Rode it like that for 120 hours.

I recently bought a new set of Gaerne Boots and sort of timed out my old Alpine Stars. Even with the Hammerhead + 15mm offset shifter. I had a bit of difficulty getting my foot under the shift pedal with these new stiffer boots during their break in. I often upshift with the stitched welt part of the edge of the sole of the boot. Raising the shifter one spline wouldn't work either.

So to solve this minor problem, I pulled my "Fastway Evolution" adjustable footpegs off of my BMW G450X and remounted the like new stock pegs on the G450. The "Fastways" mounted directly on my '15 Husky with no mods. These pegs with the adjustable bushing installed to run them in the lower/rearward position are down about 3/8" and clearly back about 1/2". Puts the shifter in a much better position for me and my size 12 boots.

Just needed to lower the brake pedal position a little to compensate for their lower position

I've ridden it like this now a few times and I don't know why I didn't try them on the 501 a long time ago.
