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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Just waiting on parts from Husky, they're in the middle of their warehouse move... I gotta stop breaking non-stocked items!
Can't really complain though, it's the first real mechanical issue I've had in 10K miles, and it was my fault...
BTW, nixed the TE gear swap, after a closer look, those particular gears will be just fine.
Cam chain and screen should be here tomorrow, gears within the next few days if they're consistent on turnaround.
Weather's been awesome, it's been torture...
Ouch..
If the only issue with getting parts is a 2 week delay because of the buyout, that would be a 'win'. I hope you get your parts, but yes call around to dealers that may have them on their shelves.Per Upstate they're supposed to start shipping parts again on the 10th.

Husky parts are SUPPOSED to start shipping again today, since they're scheduled to be all settled into their new warehouses now. Guess we'll see...
Been storming the last week and a half, but it still sucks being bike-less...
If it makes you feel any better, both of mine are still broke as well. Been hating myself for a couple weeks now, this is torture.
Hopefully be ordering my parts by Wednesday of this week. Hope you get back on your bike soon, happy thoughts!
What did you break ?
Have you tried Hall's?
