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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'08 TE450 Tall Seat?

Folks,

Finally got to take my bike out on some nice single track and I need to get a tall seat for it. I've already reached out to Seat Concepts and they do not offer one nor will they make a custom one for me.

So any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Chuck
 
I don't remember about the big blocks (My friend sold his 450 years ago) but the big problem for me (6'1") on my xlite is/was the footpeg-to-seat distance. So cut the peg boss's off and re-weld it on top (also switch the springs right & left) to lower the pegs about 10mm- moves them back about 10mm also- which makes a noticeable difference. Do a search for a complete description of the procedure.

BTW, this also helped with my untended upshifts (size 14 boots).

IIRC, seats are the same for the TE/TC/TXC 2008-2014 Italians, so if you find a tall 2010 seat (for example) there you go.
