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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kickstand Bracket

Both of our Huskys suffer from the dreaded "designed by a lobotomized person" kickstands. Both bent forward a lot and dont really work that well...

Aside from the tiny footprint the bracket that holds mine on the bike is twisted and seemingly poor quality.

Does anyone know if there is any after market or part from another bike option that can replace the mounting bracket and give me some stand improvement?

Or even better has anyone managed to fit a working stand from another bike, one like the CRF would be brilliant to adapt.
 
Best solution would be to find and stand you really like and have a good welder weld a tab on the frame for it.
 
I just made one. it bolts onto two threaded holes that were already on the frame on a TC250. bent a bit of 1/4" plate, and made a kickstand out of some tube. $5 modification!
