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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi
I imported,or rather bought from a dealer who fills containers with unwanted/barn find bikes from the USA,a 76 Kawasaki Kx 125a3 in poor condition .
I finished it a twelve month ago after a year of ebay img parts from the U.S. ,as we have nothing left in the UK.
Postage and import duties were a killer,but hey ho it's done now,except for a pair of original rear shocks that I finally found in the U.S. And I am currently re building.
I have no excuses for buying and restoring this bike,except I did have one when I was sixteen and men of a certain age do stupid things(direct quote from the wife)
Luckily she does not use cafe husky and after all her complaining I've still got a restored kx so,HA HAimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
 
Awesome job and sweet looking bike. Heck it probably handles better than my 2015 KTM 350 XCF. CONGRATS!
 
At age 15 I owned one of those. Mine had the "Blake" set up which was a short manifold that allowed a larger carb to be mounted outside the side case. I also had a Bill Wirgess (spelling?) down pipe. It was a good bike, I'm looking forward to seeing yours completed.
