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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

7602 Radiator braces are here!

Darn, it seems like only yesterday that I had to bust my last 7602 purchase out of UK customs (Britain's flat broke right now and needs all the import duty it can get). Looks like maybe another spending spree is in the air - I haven't seen a set of braces this practical available from the UK. The Cafe Husky mug is tipping me over the edge...
 
I was out in the forest last Saturday when I heard the most fearsome growl approaching. I snuck up and was able to get a pic of this wild husky wearing our rad braces in it's natural environment. :D

You shouldn't approach wild animals like that, they can be dangerous.

Yeah, I felt pretty stupid later. I found a pile of shredded orange plastic about 100 yards away. I think it had just fed on a KTM. :lol:
 
Clay sent out a set and the Great news is they fit the 2010 TE 250 so they will also fit the TXC and TC 250

An hour later they were ready for action...

They come down the outside to cover the open side of rad from a direct hit, very stout and look trick and all hell..
 
Hey all, I just received and installed my 7602 radiator braces and have to say they are AWESOME! The fit is great, they are super solid and they allow you keep your fan, and OEM radiator louvers if you like. I would for sure recommend these to anyone with a Husky who wants radiator braces. Another home run by Colomoto!
 
I put mine on today also but had a little problem with the fan hitting the decomp cable. I had to shim the guard out about 3/16 and cut one of the braces on the fan. Other than that they fit and look very strong. I have a E3 bike as well and have had problems with the fan finding a happy home since I got it.

Sorry about the fan not working well on your bike. With the added height of the 510 cylinder it makes things very cramped in that area, especially with the pre 2008 gas tanks, which are a little lower than the 2008 and up tanks. Sounds like you got it figured out already, but you can also re drill 3 new holes for the screws that hold the fan.

No worries. I think I have a orphaned bike anyway. It really wasnt a problem and the fan doesnt work now so it might get taken off anyway.:banghead:

P.S. Was the bottom hole on the fan side supposed to line up with the mounting tab on the frame? Instead of using the nut on the bolt that holds the spacer I put the spacer on the bolt and threaded it in the existing tab. Thanks for the quick shipping, it beat my other orders that I had placed the day before and they are on the east coast.:thumbsup:
