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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

The black and white definitely look like a 449/511 but the actual pics at the bottom a lot more GGish to me.
Personaly, I hope KTM puts a big push to KTM'ize the "common replacement" parts other than to seat, tank, and plastic, at least on the 2Ts. I find it beyond frustrating that I struggle to find decently priced aftermarket accessories for a bike largely unchanged for about 10 years and not changed one bit for 5 years, other than a pipe length change that Pro Circuit or my dealer obviously didn't get the memo on (2013 CR 125).
I've found one choice for a skid plate, no options for a pipe guard (PC pipe---stock and FMF are a no go 'cause I've tried), no kickstarters (IIRC the stock starter is $140), no shifter levers guarenteed to fit, aftermarket "universal" clutch perches don't fit without a new cable, etc, etc, etc. Great bike at an awesome price ($3800 before taxes) but my next bike will be a KTM 150 no doubt unless KTM can spark the aftermarket for the new Huskys. I don't have time to piddle with trying to figure out how to jimmy-rig pieces together to get the bike outfitted the way I've easily oufitted every other bike for the last 10 years.
