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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

09 kick stand

I heard the 09 stand fits on the 08 bikes, but isn't much, if any, better. The angle is wrong, when down the foot is too close to the bike. It's been 6 months since my dealer 'ordered' an 09 replacement for me. ha. Whatever. ride.

Something I've just got use to.
Never had a bike before I had to be off of to work the kick stand.:thumbsdown:

Maybe some of you are more talented then I but it's just a lot easier putting my Husky on and off the stand while standing beside the bike.
It sucks....:excuseme:
 
I'm 6'2" and I almost always work the stand before and after I'm on the bike. Plus, always have to make sure the ground on the stand side is lower than the other side or the bike won't stand. I've gotten used to it, but it's still a pain.
 
Great Bike, POS Kickstand

I'm 5' 11" and I have to get off the bike, lean it over about 4" away from the kickstand side than tilt it back to rest on the stand. I always make sure the ground on the kickstand side is lower than on the other side. I learned this lesson the hard way. I think gravity has made my bike fall more often than I have...and that's saying something.
Husky has the talent to make these great bikes, you'd think they'd be able to design a kickstand that keeps the bike upright.
