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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Will a stock KTM pipe work just as well as the fatty?
Pipe update: I just got the Walt KTM/Husky Hybrid 200SX FMF Fatty pipe from P3 and it's the real deal! I'd forget about Doma this and HGS that, because this is the final piece of the puzzle to make the WB165 all it can be. I thought the 165 worked well with my Dynoport 144 pipe, but this is better. In fact I begged Walt to sell me this very pipe after riding the bike with it and I was lucky enough that he said yes! So line right up, for the first batch of these pipes and you won't be dissapointed. This bike is a KTM 200 killer now!
I am so glad I didn't buy a Husaberg TE250, because this Husky WR/WB165 is so sweet!
Yep on everything you said NormThe Doma or FMF 125 pipe works fine but the 200Sx pipe is like
I said it feels like a KTM 200 motor with more bottom in the original post here and i think people were like "yeah sure it is" This 165 with the 200SX fatty is IMHO the PERFECT off road woods power period.
Me too, we like having you around here.
Awesome job Walt and thanks Kelly for service; well done guys.
Awesome job Walt and thanks Kelly for your service; well done guys.
when will you guys have the 200SX pipes available for customers? man i cant wait to finally get my kit on. should be this week or so.
Well I finished breaking in my WB165 today and ......it SWEET! I have the 08 CR with a 125 Fatty and PC2 for now but I'm first in line for the 200 SX200 Fatty
. Well I hope I'm near the top anyway. The bike as it is now has no dips, lags, flat spots just ripping good power. Awesome job Walt and thanks Kelly for your service; well done guys

You do realize Walt, that your kit has changed the value and availability of the 125s, making it harder for someone (like me) to join in on the fun.![]()
