• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky Club website updated!

I just found that Craig Comontofski's Husky Club site has recently been updated. It had not been updated for a couple of years and it looked like the site was no longer being managed, so good news.

Here is the link for anyone who is not familair with the site:

http://www.huskyclub.com/

Sorry if this is old news.
 
He started out as something with four speed in it. I have bought an air filter and a puller from him but wasn't sure if he had an intrest in the years I have.

I've never had a harder time ordering parts in my life! Thank God for husqvarna-parts.com. I really liked the Husky news letter,but don't miss that place one bit!
 
Another dead site.... he should sell/give it to someone who still cares in the marque.

I agree... thank God for Husqvarna-parts.com !
 
Sorry guys, I thought more people would have good things to say about this site. I cannot comment on his service for parts, but I have found some of the information in the site useful. Oh well, I will still have a look every now and then, out of interest if nothing else.
 
thought the guy that ran it was an ass,,,until i had something he wanted,,,then he turned into my long lost buddy...funny how that works..
when i contacted him about someting he had FS, it was like i was ruining his day...
when i sold my 67 Viking on Ebay,...wow,,,,we suddenly turned into long lost chums..

It happens every time someone brings up the Husky Club web site, it turns into a Craig bashing thread. In my opinion the only "bad thing" Craig did was not to post on his web site that he was stopping his services and that he would leave the site up for informational purposes only.

I have ordered lot's of parts and other things from Craig in the past, pre-2006 and never had a single problem. He always delivered and never ripped me off like another Husky vender has, not only once but twice so SHAME ON ME. It's the one that a few people on here Thank God for.

Craig has done a lot for the Husky community and we would not be this far if it was not for him. Every web site that has a Husky ID chart on it was copied in one way or another from his Husky ID chart. He put in a lot of time and effort into his web site to make our lives a lot easier.

Hell, his web site was the reason I ended up getting a computer back around 1997, just so I could get the parts and information to get my old Husky back out from the shed and get it going again.
 
Just a quick note regarding this subject.


A lot of people have had negative experiences / some good / some bad.

I agree that this should not turn into a bashing thread.

How about we all act and post up stuff that will help and benefit us all and leave it at that?

Murph - we all know that you meant well by posting this thread . Thanks for sharing!:thumbsup::cheers::applause:
