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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

red aftermarket plastic- color match? to Husky Red

Husqvarna

Is Husky Red different enough from Honda red that if I buy red Cyrca CRM Hand Guards it will look like I stole them off a Honda?? I assume most hand guard red plastic is intended for Honda.

I am about to order and first thought Black then White now I am thinking Red.... to go on my stock plastic/graphics 09TE450. Taking suggestions there too if you think one would be best.....
 
color is subjective but here are the black (with decals) on a 08 TE for comparison

I do believe Honda red is different a lot lighter. You could take off your
Tank shroud and take it to a Honda dealer first to see.

I like the black look myself.
I just put these on my 125 today.

NICE bike- yea I like the black on that too- the white acerbis lettering brings it all together-:doh: (I think I just had a queereye for the straightguy moment). :lol:

go into a Honda dealership- wtf? actually it would be funny to do- bringing in a Husky part to see if the color matched- look on the guys face... surely priceless! like doing swatches at Home Depot with the wife but better... I think your right though- Husky has a unique Lamborghini type Red:thumbsup:

think I'll go back to my original idea of black-

thanks guys!
