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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

After installing a six speed in my WR, I liked the bike so much more I decided to take it all apart and clean it up. So after anodizing the rims and fork tubes, powdercoating the frame and hubs, here it is with new plastic:

Edit: And Bill F, if you like those cool BMP front fender stickers, Decal Works now has them on file and they would be easy to order so your customers could adorn their bikes with them:)

Thanks for that Walt. I forgot to mention (and I intended to) that it is your pioneer work on the six speed swap, that eventually resulted in rekindling my like for the bike.
Until I get a 165, this will have to do...
 
Looking at your bike again makes me want to kick myself for not picking up a 2002 CR250 I seen on CL a while back. That seat looks comfy.
 
Cool......you others keep in mind the sharp angle 05 side panels and rear fender bolt right on too.

They make the bike look more modern.
 
Looks sweet! Who did you have anodize your rims? I talked to Electro-Chem today, they said $50.00, which isn't bad. Did you re-lace your wheels yourself?
