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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Keep on keepin on.
I was just wondering what you guys were using to remove the (tank and rear sides) decals from your bikes? I'm kinda nervous about using a heat gun on these plastics and was wondering if it is even needed.

Thnx!
Kev.

The newer models are embedded and the older one's fall off, then a little goo-gone gel to clean up the glue.

You can buy unlogoized plastic for most models, from UFO or in some cases Husky (I have a clean white set for my 449 that are a Husqvarna part).
 
Mine are def not embedded or anything like that.

Thanx for the goo-gone tip...I just happen to have a small bottle of it here on my desk :thumbsup:
 
Rather than a heat gun, a hair drier shouldn't get hot on enough to cause problems. We use it on number plates all the time to get a nice wrinkle free finish on the complex curves.

If you guys are interested in graphics, I can talk to the owner of bikegraphix (he's a local racer and these are the heavy duty graphics) and see what he could do on price and what not. The shrouds are an odd shape that would take some time to template, but to replace that top graphic with a serious heavy duty one, with a nifty husqvarna/cafehusky/whatever logo would be simple, and if there was enough interest it'd probably be very reasonable in the cost department. I was going to check on some clear vinyl from him anyhow for luggage strap protection.
 
Lock me in. Would be keen for a large H logo like Kjacks avatar? Actually, I'm keen for anything beta than the crap stock one!
