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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

That's some very high quality work Dartyppyt! Your attention to detail is amazing, I don't think I'd be able to ride that bike for fear of marking the beautiful workmanship!

It’s probably going to be polished, yellow and silver when done. That will be next winter.

Picklito,
That swingarm was countless hours of watching ebay for something close that I could machine and change some things around, to make it fit to my Husky. It was close as far as front inner and outer front yoke measurements, length, axle width, etc......
I cannot find a match what so ever in pics on internet. It did have the snail adjusters in rear. I’m about 90% sure that it was made for a Can Am with shorter travel shocks. The front chain slider when bottomed out on shocks, rubbed it by the pivot, from chain.
It was very well made and the shape of the aluminum is unique and 1/4 inch thick, but hollow inside.

Here is swingarm so far! Better put your sunglasses on!
In my case! What I’m putting into it, is what I’ll never get out of it!
