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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just a Public Service Announcement, b/c it's not clear on their website...

The Hotstart Nut will not fit your bike unless you have a cable operated hotstart.

This is the item:

After going through considerable trouble to remove my existing one, and not being able to make it work on my bike, I called their tech support. After a couple of minutes of describing his part to him, he realized what I was talking about, and promptly told me it does not fit my bike. Their website very clearly states that it does (the website also says nothing about requiring a cable hotstart setup).

I am shipping back for a refund, but will be out the cost of shipping both ways ($9 to get here!)... no biggie, but could have been avoided....

FYI for any other apparent morons like myself.
