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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Does anyone have any experience with pipe guards? The Moose universal is cheap enough but looks like it may be a crude fit. The carbon fiber guard I have on my GAS GAS is great but the carbon guards for the Husky are so pricey I may just let the factory pipe live dangerously and if it gets crunched I'll buy a guard for the aftermarket pipe I replace it with. Does anybody have a recommendation?
 
Ive got one of those metal ones on my 125 and I think its great
not sure what type it is - good fit though
It may not be the best looks wise but I like it - old school
Not a mark on the pipe and its been down a few times
Without one I would dent pipes regularly - not worth the risk
I wouldnt leave home without it:thumbsup:

That looks like the Moose guard that I can get for $45. Maybe a custom beating would have it fitting nicely. Did you have to do much to it or just clamp it on?
 
The P3 pipe gard is a good choice fot the rocky conditions. contact them they can tell you if the gard for the std. pipe will fit the aftermarket pipe.

bargain - I cant see you wouldnt have one
I didnt put it on but it doesnt move at all - gets a bit of dirt behind it
and to make it look real pretty youd need to take it off once in a while
I havent

Just a tip. I run those universal pipe guards on my two strokes (the Maier ones). I usually start fitting the header end, clamp that and then use a rubber mallet to finish shaping the guard to the pipe, clamping along the way as I go.
