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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

First Post, Wanted and Questions...

Canadian

Husqvarna
Hi there everyone,

This is my first post, I'm from Owen Sound, Ontario and would be interested to meet anyone else from near my area...I use to owen a KLR650 but have nothing now, and would like to purchase a Husqvarna. I've been thinking about 510's,511's,TE449's and TXC450's. I'm looking for the most powerful off-road style that Husky makes, that can barely be called road legal. I'll likely put something in the wanted section, but I'm still learning about the different aspects of each one and have some questions that I would really like answered if someone wouldn't mind taking the time to reply.
1. Can I legally ride the TXC450 on the road and is it easy enought to find and install signal lights, headlights, horn, speedometer etc?
2.Which Husky best meets the discription I wrote above? Most powerful dual-sport...off-road monster. (But still road legal)
3. And if I can't find a Bike from someone on this site, can someone recommend several places to look for some good deals on slightly used but newer husky's..anywhere in USA or Canada is fine...I'm well aware of kijiji...I find that looking at the hundreds of places selling motorcycle on line is, I think, a bit like not seeing the forest for the trees. I find all kind of sites but don't know which are the best or even functionally active.

Thanks,
ken
