• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

really frustrated

having the decals is not that big of a deal to me....... i know its a husky lol

Personally I'm gettin kinda tired of people asking me if it's a Honda, saying nice Honda, is that a new CRF? or some variation thereof.

I do enjoy the comically confused look on their face when I say no, it's a Husk Var Naaa though...:lol:

Here is what automotive paint looks like on plastic. These parts were well scuffed, gouged and had to be wet sanded and repainted since they were in such bad shape. Warning this ain't a Husky.

I'd have to say that's the nicest $700 DRZ I've ever seen :thumbsup:

How did the painted plastics hold up?

Sorry for jacking this thread.

The plastics have held up very well. They had to be sanded and painted twice because the scratches were so bad. Another set is out right now being painted yellow for a "change of clothes".

Yes 700 bucks. It was one of those Saturday night Criagslist deals. The guy had just got a new computer with internet and wanted to see if he could sell something on C-list.

Here is the bike when I first got it (and washed it).

no worries about the jacking but well i kinda solved my problems............so i was riding and well i ripped the rear fender and taillight assembly off not good at all. the bracket that holds it on broke and i dont think the subframe is messed up which is good. anyway so all this happened before i could paint it so its not all bad. so right now i found someone who can order the plastics and am getting prices. im not buying yet ima wait as long as i can till these plastics are beat. new plastics bigger gas tank (love woodschicks tank) and new stainless steel bolts coming soon. will post pics once its all done. btw does anyone know where to buy all new "body hardwear" ?
