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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hey congrats on the new wheels! I love that husky is back with the old colours. I'm currently riding a 2010 TXC-450 and like you I'm looking to upgrade. What do you like about the FE over the TXC? I'm a little disappointed that the FE is almost 10lbs heavier then the old husky. Shouldn't they be getting lighter?
The new Beta 480rr is looking real interesting to me. I've been a proud husky owner for a while so I want to give these bikes a serious consideration.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I rode a friends 2014 Husaberg 501 and liked it. The Orange machine was very tidy and still going strong, but was eight years old and had over 100 hrs on it. i looked at a new standard EXC 450 but liked the six days edition better with all the protection gear and go fast bits, but it was $1500 more expensive. The FE 450 is somewhere in between the standard EXC and the Six days. The husky bike shop offered me a good trade in on the FE450 so i went for it.

I rode a 2014 350 husaberg and felt like I was riding it in the higher rev range and wondered how long it would last doing that most of the time, so I tendered towards the 450 just because it has more legs. In saying that, if you ride tight stuff a 350 would be perfect.
i went for the husky because it comes with a great deal of the KTM sixday special extras you don't get on the NZ/AUS standard EXC, like a fan, billet triples, bash plate, 4CS etc, and a linkage rear end for a change of seen. My Husky's ECU was flashed over to Sixday spec by the dealer.
