• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Snowbike. Interest?

We are looking into becoming a dealer for the timbersled version of snow bike kits. I have ridden a couple of these snow bike kits and they are an absolute blast. I have been kicking the idea around for a while now of becoming a dealer, but the only Husky they had a kit for was the older 450/510 twin cammers. They now have a kit for the 449/511 and in talking to the guys at timbersled today it sounds like the 449/511 rips as a snowbike!

So my question is how many of you would be interested in one of these kits? The kit could be for an older 450/510, a 449/511 or any other bike you might want to use. There are a few kits left around for this year for the 450/510 and KTM's, hondas... but the 449/511 would have to be a special order that wouldn't be available until Octoberish it sounds.

Pricing varies from about $5300 to about $6600.

Here is a link to a review of a 511 TXC with the kit.

Those snow bikes are SUPER fun. I would have one if they did not cost so much. Also you really need some friends to get them too because riding with snowmobiles is much like riding your dirt bike with Quads, they do different things.
 
I have been looking at the kits and had also contacted TS to inquire about the 511 kits.
I would love to get one, but due to lack of snow (again) this year, I will hold off as I studded the tires up for the ice. I wish you the best and will send you an email if I decide to purchase.

I hear ya. It's hard to justify a new toy that you can barely use.

It looks like we most likely will be going forward with this. But since this season is mostly over already it will most likely be for the 2013-2014 season that we will be a dealer. Kits are still available for the 450/510 models now, but the 449/511 models have to be special ordered due to the cts system. Snow checks to reserve or order a kit are $500.
