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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

it shows imagination & stepping up graphics a little, it might not be an enduro look, but that scheme would look brilliant on a blinged up motard

Lots of people using their logos now without permission and I'm not going to be one of them. Once everything is straightened out, I'm gonna do a few different ones and include newer models.

Will you do custom 1 offs, if you can, i`ll get you to design something - my business colours are same (well red/blk/gry) & if i like it, cancell my 6 day set (no need to use Husky Logos) I`ll buy "H"`s seperately & put them on the guards only.

Money Back or replacement warranty if they peel ??
 
I'm not a fan of the black/red dithering etc..
but I DO like a LOT the big Husqvarna on the side.
 
Looking for some big H's for rad. shrouds. Anyone have a line on these?? Where to order and how much $$ ect.?
 
Thanks for all the input guys and gals. I was sad to hear some of you didn't really cotton to the big logo on the sides. I thought it was cool, but I guess everyone does have thier own tastes. That's why I posted it. THanks for all the input. Once I get straightened out with these guys, I have a bunch of ideas for schemes and plan on doing them for the newer models as well. This was just the first idea I had and what I wanted for my bike. THe only problem I've had with any of it was getting the decals to stay on the right rad. shroud. Those shrouds have a very heavy surface texture & are extremely difficult to adhere to. I sanded them a lot and cleaned them twicw to get the decals to stick. The kit is 16mil except for the tank cover and shroud decalas. They are both 20mil. I have reprinted the shroud decalas in 16mil because I thought that with the texturing on the shrouds, the 20mil was just to think to really get them to conform and stick even after the sanding. I have not had that problem with the left side at all, but I'm guessing I might have just gotten that shroud a little smoother during the sanding I did.

The rest of the decals have been standing up fantastically to everything. I put them to the test at a local enduro-type riding area last week. They looked like these pics literally for the first 5 minutes before we dumped off into a hole of black swamp mud right up to that big Husqvarna logo on the side that you guys have been talking about. We rode all morning everything was you couldn't ven see the knobbies on the tires when we got back to the trailer. Even my cool brand new TLD Thungerbird looked liked it had been thrown away. I washed the bike at the riding area, stopped at the car wash on the way home & pressure washed it twice, soaked it with shout! when I got home & washed it again, then repeated the shout!/wash treatment and hour later. The bike is still not clean-it was that bad. However, the graphics are atill looking great excet that right side rad. shroud decal. It's just coming off in one corner. I'm going to install the new 16mil rad. decal on the right side this week. I'm pretty certain the slightly thinner decal will stick better the textured shroud than the thivker 20mil version.

This is all research I'm conducting while I'm awaiting word of a licensing agreement. I have already submitted samples of Yamaha graphics that I designed to the licensing dept. at Yamaha and am awaiting word form them this week as to whether or not I will get the license to proceed.

Thanks again for all the input.

-p.s. Secret project coming soon! Keep looking for it on Cafe Husky!

They will get good marks for the graphic design homework but a big fat FAIL for the itty bitty side numbers, what are those 2.5 inches?

I just got this kit and I'm putting it on at the moment...
Part no. 8000H1408 Six Days graphic kit http://husqvarnamotorcycles.com.au/catalogue_sp_c.php

Where do the little stickers go?
I have the following done:

- Mud guard
- Headlight
- radiator shrouds
- lower rad shrouds
- rear fender
- side guards (has 2 stickers on guard)
- swing arm
and then there is these 2 little long and skinny stickers left over??
I'm thinking they go on the fork plastics but can't work out how??
Does anyone have a pic?
 
check these out!
