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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I hadn't seen that one yet - looks nice. Anyone had a chance to beat one of these up and see how it performs? And how does it hold up, long term? And how easy/hard is it to remove/clean?

I would choose the 1 piece SXS, but FYI I already have the TM Design works full size skid plate with the corresponding (mount hole matched) Obie link guard attached to it.
My Obie guard is the second one, the first one wore out , which is fine as it is expected to be sacrificial. So the TMD skid plate with the Obie attached is close to the same set up as the 1 piece SXS, The hard Plastic works well and slides over things and allows for flex in the plate as well as the chassis.

Completely agree with you re: we just BOUGHT SPEED! I bumped myself up a category to Vet B from Vet C for my first legit season of full racing at our local XC series up in Ontario Canada....I am looking forward to getting this properly jetted in spring and getting some seat hours...Hard to beat the flickability of my 2010 CR 144 but I equate the TX to the same sensation as my first experience driving a 2009 BMW M3 in M mode......Civilized POWER and HOW THE HECK did I get going THAT FAST?!?!?!?! hahahahahahahah. BRING ON 2017!!! taking my 144 out for a break in 1/4 ride today in plus 3 deg celcius temps.
Back on topic....yeah, I'll call and order if able to connect. If not...I'm not opposed to just grabbing a sexy P3 skid plate either...I'm no trials rider and the rocks and logs I come across are...mild
