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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
It followed me home

I really hate when things follow me home.
That is one sweet ride. I really like the lines with the older tank on it. Great find for sure. I just wish a 430 would follow me home here in the Northwest. If anyone knows of any 430's that need a new home, please let me know.

Nice! Updated kicker from a water pumper! I guess somebody got tired of their foot slipping of the original one (which looks like a dog's private parts)!

Nice eye Norm. As mentioned, updated to a 84 and up kicker. (The pre 84 kicker has the weirdest un-ergo non-user friendly bend in it and belongs in the "tower of London Torture Museum!" Do yourself a favor and ensure that the kicker retention piece that is bolted to the primary cover is also updated (Has a small bumper block as opposed to the "hold the old weirdo bend kicker in place" setup) as if it is not the kicker can "kick back" and contact the case cover and crack it. halls still have them, like 5 bucks. You know you got about $750 in tanks there with the bike. I personally do not like the looks of the 79 and older tanks............too flat.

Steve,
Sorry for my delay to your reply. Work, house, kids & their latest school project (suit of armour - cardboard, duct tape & string - only). At this time the tanks aren't for sale. One is dent free, but paint is rough. 6 of 10. This is the one which will be going back on the bike for now. Rough is OK, but no dents. The other one has a couple of dents, one on each side, but the paint is great. 9 of 10. The dented one was to be a project off in the future. I was going to use it on the bike once repaires were completed (if in fact I can work the dents out). Thanks for asking though. I'll let you know if my palns should change.

MR Chod..... is the 84 a direct swap? And will it swap onto a 1980 CR390 motor ? or will it only work on the 81 XC? You have me very interested in this for my project bike... I like the flat 1980 tank..... mine is getting refinished but man are they tiny!
