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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ultra secret Husky prototypes!

There are probably several. If you find more popping up all over the place, please click on the Housekeeping button on those other threads so we do not have dozens of these floating around like we did with the buyout threads...

I moved the Colo moto thread from General into the Newsroom, then merged 2 threads.

The one here is from the racing thread. The guy was talking about a pro race and one of Australia's hot shots did his bike up like that lol. His thread was more about the race though
 
Can you imagine how some of these old timers who really are walking bike engeniers feel now that Husky is some what back closer to the mother land.Heck they almost all speak the same
Then mix in the current staff at husaberg who are thinking outside the box.Maybe they are thinking it is time to make a bike that really stands out against the current KTMs.Why do you think after all this time these pictures surfaced Maybe they are showing us what they used to do and get ready for things to come At least that is the way I want to see it I have watched so many Gram Garvis videos that as soon as I see one with Husky stickers on it I might just
well I hate to say it{ want one} But then my current Husky 300 is on a roll But then there is 2015 these years come up and past so fast these days
soon it will be 2016
 
I have Swede in my blood, and I am at a loss for words at the beauty and engineering in these '80's Husky's. Cassette transmission, keeping these secret for all these years, Wow!
 
I saw that as well and just left it alone,,,,it sure looks like the tail end grafted onto the extruded piece. Hmm maybe those same old school guys have been tweeaking that thing through the years as new stuff comes along. You know engineers cant leave stuff alone!! Even if it aint broke.
 
Interesting ... Now that you mention it, that one SA does look sort of like a hack job ...

The engine and tranny being separate sounds cool and would allow (maybe) different boxes to be bolted for different ratios ... Might not be a good overall selling point though ... I'll settle for about any 6speed without any glamor ...

Ray I think they were referring to a cassette type gearbox ala GP machines (and others).
You just pull some engine screws out and the whole gear assy come off/out with the side cover. You can plug and play gear boxes.

I'd go for that in a second. A close ratio for the dirt and wide for the road? Sign me up...
