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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Picking up a KX500 aluminum frame!!!

I've dreamed about a kx500af for years and finally have the chance to own one so I'm snatching it up this weekend! I'll mainly ride ice with it but can use for about anything if equipped right. I've got a lectron, FWW, and maybe a auto clutch, would like a revloc since rekluse doesn't make one but heard revlocs are getting hard to find. There was one other one but sounds like it had no manual (clutch lever) over ride.. Not sure yet.

Pretty excited to see what its got!
 
Sounds awesome. I still haven't scratched my KX 500 itch. Some day.

That third clutch option is the EFM auto clutch. Good setup, but that style Kawi clutch can't have any manual override with the EFM design.
 
I did have a 570 husaberg that I did hare scrambles with pushing 58-60 HP now that and this 500 are not even close to apples to apples but I think if I set this 500 up right it should be a handful but fun! Curious to see what it gets for mileage with lectron?
 
This all started with me trying to find a straight up kx500 for the ice but a real nice one was a grand less than I'm getting this other one for so of course I found the sliver of justification to "upgrade" lol!
Around my parts we call Canadian screws cheaters haha they're like riding on Velcro!
 
Very cool. I have had an older 500 in my shop for awhile, working through some issues for a friend.
Looking forward to your RR. :thumbsup:
