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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Thanx guys!
Walt, no I have not taken it for the maiden voyage yet.
I kinda want to take it easy till get new piston broken in.
Also, fired it up with old gas. I need to get some at T2 ordered. From there after it is broken in. Want to get my custom needle in with correct slide combo. Then pair it up with yellow, blue or red spring, since they have to be kinda timed together.
At some point I want to make my own cone pipe and try some different designs.
Guys, I probably have $1200 or less in bike. I have no idea on man hours but prob a lot.
I only do this to a bike that I really like and know that it is a keeper.

Ok, couldn't resist to ride it some since yard was dried out some.
Walt, perfect umpf in bottom end from the head.
No bludder from reeds and even think the throttle response is lil better. So, not sure if it is head or reeds.
I think might even have more top end and that was my fault for not matching carb bore with my intake.
There is no blips, hesitations, hits or nothing.
Ok here is the next issue I'm having. I can be cruising in 5th gear and stand the mother straight up in the air and keep wheelie ing into 6th.
I am having some slight pinging and am sure it is the old gas. That should go away with the T2.
Think my fall jetting is spot on for now for break in.

Walt, I sure will!
Oh and don't take this as comming off bragging.
It's just the facts....... The head and reeds made this bike a lot better and my stupid oversight.
Gosh, I sure hope that the cylinder don't blow off this bike. I don't know how much more you could ask for?
I might look into a 150 kit again, I'd like to keep it as a 125 though. It's nice out running guys on bigger 4 strokes with the smallest engine displacement in a full size bike.
The Scalvini pipes are awesome, I had one on a XC 150 that I had and it blew the FMF Fatty that I had on it out of the water.
Thanks, for the input guys. (Sorry about the big picture, I'm still new to the forum thing. I can't figure out how to insert the small pictures like all you cool dudes)

As you say though.... There's nothing quite like getting the most out of a 125 in front of your bigger displacement buddies! I still cherish making it up a wet, snotty hill on my '15 TE125, in a Sprint Enduro, littered with bigger bikes!
