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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Nice job.
I remember that, years ago, a bike was build with 2 Husky 500cc. engines. The name was "Folan 1000".

Damn scary sweet. Can you imagine that beast racing a Rally with twin modern 530's on it? Say goodbye to any bigbore competition 
Ofcourse keeping rear tires on it would be a pretty tuff task

I posted some info from "the Horse's Mouth" regarding the 500 twins a while back. There were various versions, some built by Folan, a sub-contractor to HVA, and some built by HVA themselves. One interesting varient is in a Seeley road-racing frame and was campaigned briefly in GP racing in Europe. That bike is in the factory museum in Huskvarna. Didn't see any others.
