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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

Here is a link to my eagle creek ride in Idaho last summer.
Did 100mi on the ol TE449 that day. Pretty stock haven't had any issues to speak of other than oil in air box and I have that under control.
If you can do Idaho do it!

Very cool looking SMR (or converted TC?)! Out of interest, what oil catch tank are you running?
I like that. Looks purposeful and clean. That tank is really not bad at all on the bike and hey, you only have to put as much in it as you need. Cool bike.
TE511 -v- Beta 520 RS. Seems like a toss up but also sounds like if they have comparable tires the 511 would have won. Both great bikes that tied this review but the husky lists for $400- $800 less and can usually be had for a far better price.

The ZRX is punched out to 140hp.
I just sold my decked out ZRX to get a TR650. Hated to sell it but you can;t keep them all. Sold in 4 hours of posting it.

The Husky is hands down better than the Beta, there is no question. The only real competitor to the te511 is the 500exc.
I like this article: http://cyclenews.coverleaf.com/cyclenews/20120403#pg45 Though they favor the ktm, at least they swapped out the tires on the 511 for a better comparison.
its just had all the suspension re-done by spmx to suit my weight and riding conditions.
ive changed the front sprocket to a 14 tooth and have a 53 tooth husqvarna special part rear sprocket on its way along with a few bits of other special parts bling
thanks mate, also thanks for your help with the exhaust. i ordered it from over in the states and the powerbomb turned up butthe wrong muffler, not the rct4.1. the shop has sent the correct 1 over and should turn up any day now tho
