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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Thanks!Two pieces. Three if you count the heat shield.
630 owners give these pipes a look. The WINGS pipes for the 630's are $594 + $75 for shipping to the USA. Contact them directly, info is on their site. http://www.wings.si/ver3/index.html
These pipes are real nice. They come with 2 sizes db-killer/spark arrestors to tune as you desire. I am leaving the large ones in as they sound so sweet but not loud at all. I have always liked the twin pipe look on the Husky 4T's and these do not dissapoint. After mounting them I came to really apperciate the metal pipe hangers. Carbon fiber may not be the best choice for a hanger on a off road bike with possible fatigue, imo. They look and run great! Give them a look.
carbon fiber hangers work and last just fine - they just need to be fitted tight with no slop, and fatigue won't be an issue.Carbon fiber may not be the best choice for a hanger on a off road bike with possible fatigue, imo.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I am curious why you are very enthusiastic about these pipes? This is probably the third or fourth thread I've seen you promoting this product. Just wondering, why are you so charged up over this farkle versus any of the others you may have put on your bike?
For anyone who went from the stock to FMF Q4 exhaust for the 630. Is it much noisier than stock? Want the weight savings but not a lot of extra noise.
Very little if any weight loss going from the gutted cans to any of the aftermarket duals. They look slicker, may sound better and are an option for anyone not willing to gut their stock cans but certainly not a cost effective weight saving.So has anyone done a before and after weight when you keep the twin exhausts?
Like the twin look and after pulling the stock cans to drill out the cats it appears that going to after market cans is only going to save weight and maybe a little more open but not much. trying to decide if the cost is worth the weight savings.
Hi Everyone,
I've been reading through the exhaust related threads and have gotten a little lost trying to understand the different choices of exhaust for my SMS 630. I'm mostly changing out the exhaust to shave some weight, but I'm not chasing after every last ounce either. Trying to make a list of choices by price and weight, hopefully you guys can help me fill some of this in?

Modified Stock / 3.5 / $50 / $50
FMF 4.1 / ??? / $749 / $650 - $700
FMF Powercore 4 / 14.1 / $599 / $525 - $550
FMF Q4 / 13.0 / $649 / $575 - $600
Leo SS S/O / ??? / $649 / ???
Leo Alum S/O / ??? / $649 / ???
