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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

The 144 kit came straight from the husqvarna factory. I have a complete (and brand new) 125 top end I will try to sell soon.
I only put 40 minutes on the bike on a very rough outdoor SX style track wich suits 450 very well (big jump right out of tight corners) so I was not really comfortable with the track, but what I felt was really good. It's my first husky, and my first 125 since 1997, so it's a big change, but it is a ton of fun to ride. So light and nimble, give me a huge confidence boost hitting braking bumps and carving ruts.
I will make a comparison with a 2009 YZ125, and a 2005 modded YZ134 very soon. Me and 4 of my mates all have 125cc bikes. People get crazy when we jump on the track all at the same time and battle it out.

When i got out of the dealership, I took the bike appart and squeezed it in the back of my ford escape. Then I installed my hitch at home and the 144 kit. On sunday I took it out at the track for a little test ride. 
How awesome is that

Tired of wating on a WR 200...
...so I made my own. Not a single Husky part, but not a single KTM part, either!
A little history...I've been riding my CR 125 with enduro mods in the ECEA enduro series, and it's been great. It's magic in the super tight stick farms, especially with the EFM auto clutch, and the light weight has made me a much stronger finisher than I used to be on my TE300. However, I wanted more low-end with more tractability for the "rock runs" of PA and NY. South Jersey runs have a lot of sand and not a lot of elevation change, so the 125 works great here. Not as great for me in the hills and rocks.
I've heard nothing but good things about the KDX 200 motor for rocks and hills, and when I read about several folks putting that motor into the modern and light-weight KX 125 chassis, I decided to build one for the rocks. It's a 2003 KX 125 with a 1990 KDX 200 motor.
I just finished it, and I think it'll be a great bike for the intended purpose. It was also a lot of fun to build. The whole build story is at KDXrider.net in the KX-KDX hybrid forum.
My apologies to everyone that it's not a Husky--if Husky made one, I'd be riding it!
I also apologize to anyone who has seen these pictures on the other forums I frequent (ECEA, TT, KDXrider)--I'm just so tickled with it I need to share!
Special thanks to Drew Smith at WER who rebuilt and revalved the suspenders. Great service!
