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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

WTB graphics for the 2000-2004 type bikes

Motosportz, I'll be closely watching your progress with the 04. I have a never ridden, brand new 04 CR125 stashed in my garage and I'm plotting a scheme to come up with the funds for a WB165 kit and some suspension work. Looking forward to your updates on this.

This is my third one. Very good bikes. Need a revalve and respring to be good for me. The motor is very good stock and will be ridiculous as a 165

Yes, that sounds good. But in my case I do a lot of work with Richard (he buys dampers and stuff from me) so he does my suspension for nearly free (trade basically). he also says there is a lot to do with the other aspects of the forks to make them work like he likes them. Also might go with his proprietary progressive springs. I have done my share of revalving but Richard knows so much more than me as he has done this for a living for years so I'll just let him do his magic. He made my twin chamber WR125 fork better off road than most any fork i have owned.

I knew about your working relationship with Richard and I have heard nothing but good about his work. Your forks should really work good.
I'd like you to ride mine sometime if I see you up in the woods. Our weights aren't that much different.

Plus HOH is getting set up in Coburg, OR as a Gas Gas dealer working out of the CycleBuy building, so he will be in the neighborhood for some of us again.

Can't wait to see. My 250 has yellow front fender, white side plates, blue back fender. You know how the side plates have tabs that slide into the tank shrouds? Mine don't fit worth a crap. They're original I'm sure.
I'm thinking about an RM yellow fender or newer stlye Husky fender with brace, Trail Tech light plate (white), new white side plates, and stock style yellow rear fender with LED taillight. Topped off with red graphics. Got to get my seat done, poked a hole in the original blue cover a while back. Anodize rims black, blast hubs and have clear coated. My hubs look dirty no matter how much I clean them. Re-anodize bars and risers. Is there any way to get the grips off, and be salvageable? They only have one ride on them. Do you know anybody locally that can lace wheels?

Any advice would be appreciated. Your '04 above is clean.

I have successfully pulled off the Husky grips twice, and re-installed. I used the Honda grip glue, and wire 2 spots per grip. Takes a lot of patience.

Never saw a final picture of this bike did you post any that I missed? I have a 04 wr 250 looking to freshen up with new plastics and graphics.

I embraced the yellow, solid bike for sure.

Have an 08 now, this one's up for sale. Not really digging magic erasing the crap out of the bike after every ride though.

Where did you purchase the white plastic for the 04 cr125? Any idea if they are still available?
