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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I guess I will just dress up what I have and continue to use that. Getting plastic for the 99' is difficult, especially the shrouds. I'm surprised none of the aftermarket plastics suppliers have the mid 90's to 99's covered. Is that just due to their not being enough volume?If your '99 has the 3 holes in each rad shroud like the 98's, converting to the 00-04 plastics can be a challenge.
The tank, seat & subframe are different. You can use the same airbox but you have to pull the top section off to suit the new rad shrouds & rear panels. As OMG said, a new subframe also to accomodate the skinnier rear guard & new seat.
Not impossible just challenging
