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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Nice work Stu!2.5 hours in the post office and 30 odd packages have being sent. . Should be 7-10days.
Postage worked out a bit cheaper then I quoted, but I lost about $4 per order in pay pal fees so all up there was about $6 per order left after costs. I just want to make its all transparent as this was never a profit making exercise. I had spent a few $ extra of my own to have more sets made so this will cover that , and these sets can be used in the event of any going missing..
Happy wrenching, be kind to your Husky
Stu

Well hopefully this will add to the longevity of my 630.... just waiting for my new rear wheel with cush hub to arrive now J
Nice did you get a rad cush ?
Stu, got my parts today, just wanted to say thanks.![]()
The bike was only sold for 2 (or 3) years, and the production numbers were fairly low.
By the time the problems started cropping up in considerable numbers, they were out of production.
