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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Don't be so quick to think the grass is greener on the other side. The 510 had a long history and was a solid engine. You've got a great bike.

I can't really speak on the old design, Brian, because I haven't ridden one but obviously they are quite different. I really like the power on my 511. It's very abrupt.
Let's see....how do I describe it,,,,it's just there immediately whenever you twist the throttle even if you're a gear higher than you should be it'll still chug right along
(that is if it doesn't stall on you... lol) It's really a nice solid powerful motor. I've heard that the valves rarely need adjusting. If there's anyone out there who has done a valve adjustment on their 449 or 511 I'm interested in knowing how hard it is to do for an average Joe (meaning not super mechanically inclined) to do.
As mnb stated, though, you have a great bike as well so I wouldn't trip on it too much.
