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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Marquee of the year has made Husky stuff on ebay go insane!
Really!
Not just vintage stuff
People are trying to sell even modern used stuff for mor tham new at MSRP!

normally like 23 pages of Hus stuff and like 1800 items
now more like 90 pages and 8000 items.
Some real crap but also some neat stuff but again....don't know if marquee of the year and potential spruce ups are causing it...but asking prices are insane...like asking $100 for bottled water in a drought I guess?

No doubt that the increased popularity and exposure has encouraged people to drag down the boxes of parts from the rafters but it's good to see so much stuff on the market.

I've been noticing that on ebay uk too - I think it's because a lot of new Husky parts are cheaper than Jap equivalents here, but a lot of people don't realise that.

I did snag a billet clutch slave for almost nothing a while back though. Works a treat with the 7602 piston. :cool:
 
I am meaning more of the vintage stuff.
OUTRAGEOUS prices.
And for some reason EVERYTHING old seems to be starting at $49.99.......no bids.no surprise either! Center cases with guts that look like boat anchors for $200!
Left side cases with cracks and asking more than the new UK billet ones. I mean insane.
Just hpoing no "precedents" are set and some sell for a desperate to fix her by mid ohio....then the "cat has been fed" and that will be the new norm accepted price. Kinda like restod vintage bikes a few years back fetchin 4k to 6 k. Now same bikes are lucky to fetch $2,500 cause of he economy. This happens when folks look for a buck and have no passion for the hoby or sport. I wish they would stay in the stock market and futures and pork bellies and oil and such.
Done rambling

We don't even bother with eBay for used parts. Not worth the time to find that "diamond" in the rough.

Most sellers are clueless and parts are crap. Dirty, broken or titled wrong.

Certain sellers in AZ and CA that think their parts were made of gold.

We would rather deal with shops like Bishop's, MotoXotica, Hall's or Up-tite. They usually know where to find the part if old or not in stock.
