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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Gus,
Yeap that's what the numbers say, 1971 400CR, Great find, looks like the gas tank was repainted, fender should be metal-chrome but other
then that, it looks original.
Again Great find, be cool to see if your Father in Law has an old pictures of him on the bike . The Early CR are very hard to find & quite valuable so resist the temptation to modernize anything. Here's a few pictures of a full resto from Vintage Husky, so you can compare.

Gaz tank is not the good one, you have a tank for 5 speed (1972 /73) with gaz cat in the middle (normaly 1970/71) is on the right side.
Fender must be aluminium with a front mudguard stay
normaly, with Bing carburator ... is a 400cc
