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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My bike is awaiting this part to be put back in my hands after a top end rebuild. This part failed and needs to be replaced. My local mechanic is having challenges sourcing the part...any stateside guys help out here? Will call Hall's as soon as they are open...Thanks in advance
 
I've connected with Hall's, MotoXotica, and Bill's...appears this little sensor is alluding all of our grasps....anyone have a Euro3 version Husky TE 450 cylinder head kicking around that still has the temp sensor??? Still reaching out to anyone and everyone with some Husky inventory including Italy...we'll get there...let the search rage on :thumbsup:
 
After an exhaustive search, email, phone call blitz......success...I received this in my email regarding the temperature sensor:

"Hi,


piece is available. In order to quote part and shipping costs, you should advise your full address complete with zip code.
Kind regards.

If it was me, I'd put the fan on a manual switch and just use the old part as a plug into the head.

On my model bike, the temp sensor is a $15 part and it goes bad regularly. On your bike, if all it does is turn the fan on, I'd put on a manual switch. I found that my temp sensor did not turn my fan on until about 235degrees F and that was too late in some cases, now that I have a manual switch, I turn my fan on when I start any slow, hot riding, and it helps me avoid overheating by getting a jump on holding the heat down.
