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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So what would you like to say to new guys?

So what would you like to say to the new guys on the block with Husqvarna NA?

1.) Can we leave the showroom with the right sized fork and shock springs for our weight? Revalving and suspension mods are more for preference/riding style. But at least springs that we can use.

2.) Can we get some beginner bikes going and some better toys to start our kids off, on the brand? John Deere does a great job on this. Chances are if you push a toy John Deere tractor around as a toddler. You'll buy John Deere products? Yamaha has a PW50 that has been around for years/set up for training wheels.

3.) Where are the minis? I'd like (2) 65's for the grand kids?

4.) When you engineer the tanks, why can't you engineer/mold an oversized tank available, from day one?

5.) Can we get a better clothing and gear line going? Of course at a good price? Boots, Helmets, Jersey's Pants, Gloves, Street Wear?


Thanx!

Feel free to add your recommendations. Maybe we can get noticed?
 
Would say to Andy
You remember the Husky Products line........get it going again. See # 4 and 5 above. Uptitie and Zip Ty have some great starter stuff for the line as well as the factory stuff that only sems available outside the USA (Scratching head on that)

Agreed. Also bring back a modern WR400 with 10" of travel. :D

+1 on all of the above
and add...

Get some presence at local and regional off road events...not to mention Nationals. I am tired of watching a string of KTMs battle with an assortment of HonSuzYams. This will take more than a better contingency program, but that would help. Regional series could use sponsors like Husqvarna; Zip Ty and others could field 'farm' teams. Red bling could become ubiquitous ... I am still looking for a good Husqvarna sticker to put on my trailer.
 
Welcome....and get me some Husqvarna riding duds.:D

Mine will wear out or shrink sooner or later.:doh:
 
Oh, can we get the bikes in the states a little faster. How come Husky doesn't make a quad, pit bikes or UTV's? On my list is a mountain bike that I would like to pedal around, with a white frame and red accents?

PS: Hope you guys will join the CH Husky site! Welcome aboard!
 
Take a tip from KTM and improve their hard parts catalog. (actually I think all manufacturers need to do this)
 
How about a responsive NA website. Answers to e-mails with basic ?'s from the uninitiated that live in the large area's without a dealer. Bring back the dealership list with contact information on the website using a USA/Canada/Mexico map with flags.

Obviously the expanded hard parts and accessories catalogue but list availability, current and future dates.

I am not a DS rider but wouldn't sponsoring a couple of 2-3 day DS rides in different parts of the country draw large participation and exposure. That is a large part of what Husky is offering.

Good luck and welcome to the West Coast.
 
Wecome Confirm the fact that Husky is working on a new 2 stroke and change the storie from rumor to stay tuned it is in the works . Either way i will buy a new 250
2 stroke
