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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Anyone have a low seat on there newer 125?

I shaved about 1/2-3/4 inch off my 300 seat and I don't really think it made the seat any harder (and lowered the suspension 1/2" If I remember right). Just wondering if the actual low seat for the 125 is like sitting on a 2x4 or not? I like the extra confidence of totally flat footing while sitting on the bike.

I could go with some guts racing foam but there again not sure how the "stock""medium" and "soft" compair to the stock seat. I'd guess on the "soft" my big but would sink in an extra 3/4" or so but not sure.
Any info would be much appreciated!
 
I got a lower seat from my local dealer for my daughters cr125 it is 35mm lower and it works well for her, I didnt want to cut the origional seat as when she is moves onto a newer one in a couple of years I will keep this bike for myself and I prefer the higher seat.
Here is a couple of pics the dip in the seat is not to badand still keeps the bikes profile, the second one is holding the origional seat.

Yeah thanks for the reply! Looks like a mini step seat almost. That looks like what I'm after but is it rock hard or do you think its the same feel as stock? Thanks again

I just received my Husky Low Seat (8000H2442) from Bill's yesterday. Although it's advertised as -35mm from stock height, it is more like -20mm. I haven't ridden with it yet, but just sitting on it in the garage (for ~20 minutes) it doesn't feel harder than the stock seat. Hoping to ride this Saturday or Sunday, and see what the butt durometer sez.

I'm 5'-7" w/ a 30" inseam, and want to be flat-footed too. With rear sag set at 102mm (31mm free sag), I'm still slightly on my toes with the low seat. I've already decided to have my suspension revalved and lowered 1" or so when it's time to have the forks and shock serviced.
 
My factory 1inch lower seat is way harder than the stock seat on my x-light I ride mostly sitting down so the lower seat does not work for me. Don't know if it is the same as the 125 or not.
 
I put the 35mm lower seat on my 2014 cr125 the other day and after riding a couple 20 min moto's i can say it feels just like the stock one just a little lower. It's good for motocross because it gives more clearance between your but and the seat witch in the woops makes a difference. I'm only 5' tall so i cant touch the ground anyway, so i cant tell you the benefits of being able to put your feet on the ground. But i'm glad i spent the money.
