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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Yes, I have 'tarded my 09 WR300 using the forks/wheels and brakes from a 09 SMR. Worked fairly successfully, however it may take some time to find a nice setup that you find comfortable on the road. I'm running 15/40 gearing and I still find it a bit snatchy when off the power. Good for quick Sunday arvo rides around the neighbourhood but personally I wouldnt ride much further...that two stroke tingtinging down the road attracts ALOT of attention!

It has been tarded! I will be taking it for a spin on Saturday. It looks tough with the excel rims, haan gold hubs and the 160 rear tire. Although it is tarded it will probably only spend 20% of it's time in that form as over our (Aussie) summer I will have the dirt wheels on it mostly.

Ok, bike was running a bit all over the place with the Mikuni carb and I couldn't getbit dialed in so I replaced with a origin pwk airstryker quad vent carb - after playing around A LOT with the jetting I have it dialed in now. The thing absolutely screams. I am running a 40 tooth rear and standard front. I have 17" rims with a 160 bt03 on the rear. Even with the 40 tooth rear it will still power mono in 1st and second. As far as keeping it tarded - I think only for when I take it to Tarmac tracks as it gets WAY too much attention on the road. Absolutely wicked fun though. It's time for the dirt rims to go back on for some mc track time.
