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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Wonder what happened...?Well, I came home from work a day after I got the new bike home, to find a puddle of oil under it. I took it back to the dealer last night and they're fixing it. Hopefully it doesn't sit there very long.
Awesome! Where did you get that silencer guard?
Seemed to be coming from the driveshaft seal, but with all that fancy bodywork in the way, it's hard to tell.Wonder what happened...?

Dealer couldn't deny the leak, it was dripping in their shop floor.
The weather is too lousy to ride, anyway.
That bike is awesome. The Cadillac of sportbikes! It has three traction control modes, two power modes, abs, all sorts of stuff on the gauges like battery voltage, current and average MPG, air temperature, etc.
60 MPH on that thing feels like you're barely moving, and it is quite a bit more comfortable than a full-on race bike, like my old ZX-10Rs.
i love those Zs hope to get my hands on one somedayWoke the Z Rex up from hibernation today , fired right up !View attachment 23223
No, not a drive shaft. I'm talking about the countershaft. When I called it that, the dealer didn't know what I was talking about.SO the new 14 has a drive shaft, wow. You were on ZX-10R.net? The name sounds familiar. I used to post on there quite a bit, went by 9R to 10R. Picked up my Husky a couple months ago as a play toy .
uh ur chain not in the guideI like a little neon green thrown in too. Gives the red/black/white a little extra kick. A crappy pic of my 2006 TC 450 with our neon green vent tubes. View attachment 26103
