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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kellys ongoing goofy thread...

There used to be a big bore kit for the 350s that allowed them to run 450 pistons. The SL 350 K1 was 45-50 pounds lighter than the CB or CL models and tipping the scales around 300 pounds. I put the kit in my buddies K1 and the compression was 235 psi. Remember 100+ pump gas?
Made for a real good Tillamook Burn hillclimber, Back To Backs, Big Burtha etc.
The motor eventually made it into a Maico frame and I don't remember if we ever weighed it.
I have had my eyes open for a good deal on a K1 for awhile. Everyone seems to know (so far) what they are worth though.
That seems to be the case with all of the older jap street bikes. Theyve all started coming out of the woodwork and into craigslist.

I worked at a BMW/Triumph dealer for a few years. By far my favorite was the Speed Triple. So much so that I turned my Bandit 1200 into a "Speed-Bandit"image.jpg

I also had a triple for a while..
