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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello every-one, I have a 2010 wr144 and I just picked up a new complete factory 144 kit for a steal and I was thinking about painting the new cylinder head to give it the "red-head" look. I do not want to powder-coat and I am looking for the best way to get a good-looking and long-lasting finish. Thanks in advance:cheers:!
 
Thanks for the replies, I forgot about brake caliper paint as something I could use. I will use it and post a pic when I get it done!:cheers:.
 
This has me thinking about painting my stock pipe red. Getting some little rusty scratches where my steel toe must be rubbing it when starting.

That would really annoy my KTM riding pals!

I painted my unfinished dep pipe with red caliper paint so it would not rust, but the bend in the pipe on mine was hot enough to burn the red paint and change colors to brown.
 
Has anyone painted the whole engine? Does it Heat a lot more cause of the coating? Thinking of doing the whole engine in a stock silver engine color just for looks.
