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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

7602 Racing is a legit source. Very good products, and even better customer service. He's a sponsor for Cafe Husky.

They're guards are in my opinion the best. The Aluminum frames totally protect the radiator structurally. The stock fan mounts directly to the radiator frame. Doing away with the flimsy stock bracket.
The 7602 radiator grills on the front are removable if you like, allowing the stock louvers to still be retained if you desire. That is assuming you are riding open trails or may not need the front puncture protection. I run the front grills in place all the time. They look good and provide the best protection available.
I'm riding average 90 to 100 degree weather temps right now and have plenty of sufficient airflow across the radiators, where my fan only runs when I'm down to real tight 1st and 2nd gear stuff. The fan goes off as soon as I get into open trails again and speed picks up. The bike is running "ZT XF2 Coolant".
These "7602 Guards" come highly recommended. When I bought my bike in April. I had them installed on my new FE 501 directly by "Bills MC Plus" in Oregon, before it even shipped to me in AZ. Where I ride AZ high desert that the brush will quickly destroy radiators that aren't protected in some of the places I go.
Many of those tight single track game / smuggler trails, I've left the only motorcycle tire footprint ever on them. My riding buddies won't even follow me through these places. They know what will happen to there radiators.
This stuff gets so tight I carry a small compact, breakdown pruning saw in my tool pack with 4 different blades for chopping also.
I use them, I like them and you'de be hard pressed to find better radiator guards anywhere.

I use and like the composite levers but they do make metal in colors. Excellent warranty and support.
You may want to contact them for color info on specific parts. Looks like they make them for Moose and others.
