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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
So they look different and they can charge 30% more for the K&N.I would be curious why they use different color paper then. Isn't K&N kind of a red/pink color and Hiflowfiltro an amber color? Maybe I'm just thinking of different elements for differing models.
George at Uptite says he'd use the 154 only in a pinch, the updated filter is what you want for the newer models. We all trust his opinion, I think. The 563 will also work in the older models, backward compatible.
My bike came stock with and is still running the re-usable stainless mesh filters. They seem to remove debris quite well and are in mint condition. Do they not provide these with the bikes in Canada/USA/Europe?
Are you talking about the screens that protect the clutch area and the oil pump, #s 7, 20, and 27.
Yes those filters, but also the other main filter on the RH side of the engine. Should I take a photo?

Those SS filters are very expensive as compared to a paper element ... ESP to put one in every bike sold ... Who makes the one in your bike?
In the USA, Huskys come stock with a paper oil filter
The bike also comes stock with a large "twin air" air filter element. Is this a stock item in the U.S.?
