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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Marzocchi has closed it's doors.

My Ohlins sure work great on my old out dated Italian Husky 300 Also work great on my WR 250 and my Cr 165 Next they will work great on my new TE 300
 
Bit Johnny come lately on this post but l believe the bicycle suspension side of Marzocchi moved to Asia many years ago so l would suspect that someone in China or even India may buy the motorcycle IP from marzocchi and relaunch the brand in a different continent...hey if you are someone like Hero MotoCorp you are instantly in the game suspension wise at least.
Lets not forget that some time ago Ohlins was majority owned by Yammie and then re brought back by the Ohlins family.

TBH, I had no issues with the marzocchi forks but l would gladly swap them for KYB SSS forks and as far as road bikes, pfft dump the OE internals and insert Ohlins kit.

What l'd love to see is someone outside of KTM Group use the Showa SFF or KYB PSF for enduro bikes...heck why not Yamaha buy out GasGas and take that tech into their enduro range.

Ok...going to bed :thumbsup:
