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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Cheap linkage guard

I'm sure someone else has done this, but haven't seen it posted. Used a spare mud flap to make a linkage guard. Cost @ $10 and took 10 minutes :rolleyes:

It survived 2 hours of thrashing (no crashing!) today, so a success so far. This is on the 300, but pretty sure it'll work on the 165 with OEM plastic skid plate too.
:cheers:
 
We'll see mate. Looks like it will spare the shock bearing and linkage a lot of mud and debris, but not survive many big trees. With the Hyde skid plate the flap is in a bit of a bind which stiffens it a little and it survived a good flogging in the woods. This time of year I pretty much should clean and lube linkage each oil change/10 hrs. Just looking for a little relief from that hassle. For the price can't be beat so far. If I find a better option for similar cost I'll try that too. :cheers:

Great to keep water and mud from blasting on the lower shock bearing; have been running a flap for some time. anything to keep reliability especially in longer events with no chance to lube anything
 
I'm almost 20 hours in with this flap and it's worked great. I'm just riding my home turf once a week these days, but plenty of logs, rocks, all types of branches and other trail trash and a trip or 2 into the bushes. Skipped the linkage/shock maintenance last oil change, but gonna do it this time. :thumbsup:
