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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Baaaaling.... my forks are on...

Dunno, Sunday afternoon maybe? To much stuff going on.
Hard to get the pix to show the color the way it really is in person but this one is close. I love it, very deep / rich.

...just so you know, it's "balling" or "baaaalling."
Those look great, but would look even better without the advertising that covers up those beautiful red legs, but you gotta pay the piper. Are you going to get one ride on them in GP before it closes for the season? By the way, that is one bad @$$ little machine!

I was thinking the same thing. He prolly can't afford it.
Will post a full report soon but it is amazing. The forks are awesome Seem stiff as in the bike does not wallow at all yet picks up trail trash very well. Compliant yet controlled is how i would describe it. This is the only set of forks i have ever rode that is both trail plush and SX controlled. I did not think you could do that and had to choose one or the other. I LOVE the forks. BTW he said he completely redid the forks and they are much more like a KYB setup than what they were. He said he was not impressed with the stock zoke internals even though they were working good.
As for the shock I was not as pleased with it. It does work very good but was outshined by the forks (thats a first for me). After talking with him this morning he is sure I have way to much preload and need to set my sag. I told him it deflected a little and and seemed almost stiffer than stock. He said the valving was 25% softer and is sure he dialed in to much preload. Sounds right.
As it is right now i love it. Adjusting the shock will be the icing on the cake. It is super controlled. I can charge into whoop fields and root wads with reckless abandon and it goes straight through, no drama no harshness. the control is off the map. This is would be the ultimate race setup, compliant yet controlled. I was blasting through stuff and laughing about it.
Also hit some big waterbars on a skid road and got some semi big air, it lands awesome, no bounce, no drama, hits the ground and stay there. This would be a great MX suspension. the versatility is crazy. Part of it he tells me is due to the special progressive fork springs.
Love it.
