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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

84scrambler does this bike look familiar? I finished her up about a year or 2 ago. She’s an absolute monster!
 
The bike at the start of the thread is not a genuine FBF, no frame mods by the looks of the images, forks aren’t factory, 50mm triple clamps are OEM not billet, the shock may have been bought from the old team stock along with the bar clamps it’s probably a look a like but still would have been a good project defo should have got the engine though. The team here in the uk had the motors tuned to perfection they had the strongest motor, just the dated frame geometry, and strength a long with the faulty swing arms in 2001 made them a little tricky to ride especially if you have been bought up on japanese bikes but still a well sorted bike in my opinion was a very under rated bike, same as the 125 very under rated. The huskies divide opinion

The bike that you see above your comment is what that bike at the beginning of the thread looks like now. I bought it from him and restored with tons of FBF goodies. I’m ready to get another project going!!

The bike looks mint now are they OEM plastics or aftermarket? I am considering trying to get some OEM front & rear fenders, front plates, fork protectors made in a mixture of blue and black because they aren’t available anymore and the aftermarket UFO stuff is slightly different
Also are those genuine 50mm factory forks I have two pairs myself but I could do with another pair for a Motorex Husky CR250 project
