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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I think Andy @ HVA might be able to help or point you in the right direction, I know he travels to Sweden for spares
It depends if the bike is registered and road legal or if it is a MX bike.
MX Bike:
Sales contract signed by seller and buyer might be good to show in the customs if you get stopped.
Or you could just say that you been to a track abroad with a bike or two if anyone asks
I don't think you need anything, but a sales contract might be good to have if someone suspect it's stolen.
Enduro Bike (road legal):
Seller need to send in the registration plates together with a certificate of export of the bike, buyer do not need to sign anything, only the seller.
Buyer need to check what he need to do to get the bike in the register at home to get a new number plate.
The Swedish road register also needs some kind of confirmation that the bike is no longer in the country.
This could be one of the following:
A copy of the registration papers from the "new country".
A copy of the customs clearance paperwork.
A certificate from a professional importer.
If you need spare parts, it's just to start buying

Importing vehicles and verification of origin
Are you going to import a vehicle to Sweden? This section provides straightforward information about how to import a vehicle and the rules that apply – from when the vehicle arrives at the Swedish border until the vehicle is ready to be driven.
'Verification of origin' is a part of this process and you can find out everything about this subject here.
Temporary registration when importing a vehicle from a country outside the EU/EEANote: When you import a vehicle from outside the EU/EEA, its temporary registration will mean that use of the vehicle will be restricted. Restricted use means that you will only be able to use your vehicle for a journey using the shortest possible route:
- from a port, railway station, customs clearance point, repair workshop, storage premises or the like to such a place or premises where the vehicle can be kept pending a registration inspection, or
- to or from an inspection.
Please note that you cannot send cash payments to the Swedish Transport AgencyThe application fee for verification of origin must always be deposited into the Swedish Transport Agency's special verification of origin account. You will be provided with details of the account number and other payment information in conjunction with making a direct application via the website, or on the invoice that we will send you as soon as we have received your application.
