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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanx for the comments! Kelly, that's what I was thinking of yours from that big fork job!

Looks great buddy!
Show bike quality :notworthy:

Did you tape off all the threaded holes in the frame before powdercoating or did you sacrifice a few bolts? I'm interested in getting my frame coated too.
 
PC,

The only thing that was taped off was the stem races/inside the stem. Also there is tape under the powder coat, to remove some day and access the serial number.

I used taps to clean out all the thread holes. Any place where the swing arm and etc hit the frame or the big swing arm bolt. I used a flat file to remove the paint (built up heavy) on the frame bushing (swing arm wouldn't fit between engine case and frame) and then cleaned the hole out with a round file, so bolts would go thru. I had to remove paint for coil to ground and etc....

Thanx again for all the comments!

It was all worth it for $150 buckaroos.

Actually, I kicked around an idea to Nickel Plate the frame? Maybe next year? Or Cr125?

Motorhead, Didn't you do yours in white? What did yours run ya?
