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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Let's See your 'Tard!

It was at Ottobiano, in Northern Italy, not far from Milan:

The mode list as I remember from the top of my head:
- Alpina tubeless rims. 16.5" front and 5" wide read. With Dunlop supermoto slicks.
- Motomaster lighter front rotor
- Dual carbon race brake pads from SBS
- Brembo 15RCS break master
- Hell break line
- Front for has the internal from an 08' SMR RR - fits straight in and best improvement to the bike.
- Rear shock revalued and added harder spring.
- Full Arrow Ti exhaust
- ZipTy "extra oil" kit
- Various alu bling bits. Some so I can lock wire some because the OEM is shit.
- Map 3 from Husky.
- JD Tune unit.
- 2nd butterfly has been removed.
- Fuel tank filter sock has been added as an extra safety as I have had one injector damaged.
- All road gear has been stripped off.

Who knows, I've given up, going to do what I should've done and had a local shop make one up.
 
Front end of the 511 feels a bit light? New head bearings while I take the front end apart top get a new axle...

The axle they sent, the fixed spacer prob is at least 30mm too short... ffs!

In hindsight I should've had the axle/spacers made locally, might have had the forks on the bike 6 months ago lol

Ahh well, no point dwelling on it!
 
Almost there.... new head bearings going in tonight, bolt up the front end but I think I'll need a new brake line to suit the beringer.IMG_20140811_165245.jpg
 
Husky supposedly just landed some SMR450 race only 'tards in Australia, rumour has it they might be road legal next year. The 690 Donk will likely end up in a Husky road 'tard too.
 
Almost there, no brakes, headlight or speedo... and it's raining. Test ride can wait.

New HEL brake line to be ordered to suit the caliper and it'll be rideable, not street legal but rideable...IMG_20140811_185644~01.jpg
 
I got a sheet of them when I got my ttx rear. Can't seem to find a link for them. I could send you 2 if you want? I got 4 of them.
 
I've ordered yellow "o" fork decals from crispy designs, I remember getting some of the torn "o" stickers with my shock but I don't think they'd be suitable fork stickers durability speaking.
