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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Skyda and ignition covers update.

I know several here have been asking when the new skyda covers will be done so here is a little update. The covers are currently waiting for their turn in line to be anodized. The shop in Denver that does our anodizing is one of the few to not be in financial trouble so they are busier than normal. With a little luck they will be done and ship to the engravers this week. So the new covers should be back in my hands and ready to ship the 1st or 2nd week of the new year. Happy holidays my fellow Husky riders!
 
Here's a pic of the new ignition cover. This was the first prototype so please excuse the rough edges.

Colo moto,
Very cool! I love trick pieces. They make a cool bike even cooler.
Could you make a cover for the vintage sector, especially the 81/82' and 83'?

Damn, the cost of my birthday gift just went up :eek: Hope my wife can deal with it :doh: I want both covers, they are sweet :applause: :thumbsup:
 
Clay,

How close does the shifter come to the case? Just curious because i know some have talked about theirs rubbing. It just looks close in the picture. You know me, Ill take mine plain with whatever logo is on it. Just like my Skyda cover. I like the red. I just cant talk myself into ruining the color with my boots.

My wifes birthday is in a week. I cant wait to get her one for my bike.:lol:

Mike,

The shift lever clears the cover by a pretty good amount, but it is flexy and it will rub the cover. I pulled the cover back as much as possible for max clearance without sacrificing the internal clearances or the thickness of the cover. The colors are black, grey, and red. logo will be small and simple. Price will be 139.99
 
Is the gray an actual anodizing color or is it raw finish color with a clear or something? Like my Skyda cover.

The grey is what they call clear anodize, but for durability sake it is really thick so it comes out looking like grey paint. Unfortunately I have switched anodizers, twice, since your cover was made (long and expensive story) so your cover and the new grey will not match. Here's some pics so you can compare the two. Yours in top photo, and new grey on bottom. pic doesn't show it, but the new is a little darker than it looks in the pics and doesn't have the metalic luster yours has.

hello huskyfreaks,clay little update again please,cant wait to order them.greets to all off
you,from me in little cold belgium
 
The covers are currently at the laser engravers. Small chance they will be back here in the shop late this week, but most likely next week. I will post up pics when they arrive.

Black raven,

what part of Belgium are you in. I spent some time near Namur a few years ago. Can't wait to get back to Belgium. It's very cold here too. :cheers:
 
They look great. That would look sick in just machined aluminum. Anything for the 2 Strokes? Clutch cover, ignition cover, etc?

Thanks Blue, they do look awesome in machined aluminum, only problem is they scratch up very quickly.

It scratches worse than the scratching on the anodizing? I've seen some pretty ugly looking scratches in anodized covers. (Not yours of course):thumbsup:

Well let me know when you have them done. I'm very interested.
 
My red 7602 clutch cover has held up very well. Yeah, it starting to show wear, but still looks great. The wear looks fine and is unavoidable, and like scars chicks dig it. :D

Yes, bare alum is very soft. The anodizing layer is much harder than the bare alum.
