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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Case saver

That is quite a nice piece. After seeing Hansi's post over in this thread: Pottering around...

I'm tempted to do something similar to his. That billet one is nice, but that price has me puckering a bit. And it's not something that more volume is going to bring the price down on, that's a lot of machining, so it's actually really a good deal, but I'm not fancy enough to need that kind of bling.
 
I really wanted one of the aquatic ones but I am trying to save enough for a GPR steering stabilizer instead. I just modified the plastic cover.
 
I understand the price is intimidating, but I bought mine not for the bling factor, but more for protection from a derailed or broken chain. To me $117 US is cheap compared to a case half.

Completely, agree. It's a smart investment, and that looks really well designed. It looks like you can go quite large on the front sprocket and still have plenty of mud clearance. My list is getting long before my trip though. For me a guard made of aluminum plate and spacers should give sufficient protection while sticking on a budget.
 
I bought one too, in Gunmetal grey. I can't believe the weight. It might even be lighter than the original plastic guard.

Hi guys

I thought I would join up here to say thank you for the support. And thanks to Badrapp for spreading the word.

At a request from one of your kin
