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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
It's the same stator, without doubt. I had a few of us running tests on everything when I couldn't get spark to the plug and my Cdi was the culprit, I have 3 coils only 1 works. I don't see the point in us both with not running bikes. I'm just waiting for my parts to arrive and I can send what I have your way. Don't see it costing to much.That is extremely generous and helpful. It's folks like you that really make it enjoyable to own these older bikes. Please ensure that your bike is running and you have everything you need before you send me anything. I'm excited for you to get that beast running, should provide years of enjoyment and perhaps a little frustration
I recall you recommending HPI a while back when I requested suggestions for a replacement ignition on my bike. I can't speak for others but my issue has been difficulty in pinpointing an actual rotor that will be compatible with my bike. After much back and forth with Willy(very friendly and communicative) from HPI it's still unclear what rotor is suitable. I supplied appropriate measurements, Willy would reply and provide a part number, I would check the specs and while the large diameter taper would coincide the small diameter and angle of the taper would not. This is in no way a judgement on HPI, as I've stated they have been the most helpful ignition supplier BY FAR. What it comes down to is that it is my responsibilty to practice due diligence in order to ensure I find the correct ignition. That's why I'm depending on PabloPaints to be my savior

Please understand that I'm not really depending on you to be my savior, was a bit of a tongue in cheek remark. That being said, what's the story with that stator...kidding
If your seat needs work get a universal cover and a heat gun or hair drier from the mrs , cheap upgrade and makes the bike look much newer, just noticed your avatar pic. Would like to see some good pics. Stator will need a home.Please understand that I'm not really depending on you to be my savior, was a bit of a tongue in cheek remark.
