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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What do you think? My Cr250 has been wr'ized to be street legal. This past winter I redid the top end and added an ims tank. A few of us are entered in a 710km one day dualsport ride. I've done a fair bit of dualsport on it (300km in a day). Could the husky be up for the task or am I looking for trouble. We need to average about 60km/hr on the course.

thanks
 
CHEF! :notworthy:
Doing the P2D with your Husky 2T:applause:
Tough event but I think you've got it right with the "lighter is better" theory. I ran my KLR in 08 and the weight really taxes you later in the day and you definitely don't need to hit 120km/hr on the roads when the fog is soooo thick. What are you planning to do about gas since you need mix?
Not sure if you remember me... I rode Tony's WR with you guys at the Ganny late last season.
Best of luck. :cheers:
 
I say a few guys I know [names withheld] should form "Team Husqvarna 2 Smoke".. They pay off the organizer and get on "Row 1"..
They run 29:1 ratio and literally SMOKE the competition away..


This is what "Team Husqvarna 2 Smoke" will be doing..

.. :busted: .. :ride: .. :lol:

This is what the competition will be doing..

.. :eek: .. :thumbsdown: .. :foul: .. :cry: .. :rant: .. :naughty: .. :banghead: .. :cripple:
 
Yup, I remember you ARP. I added an IMS tank to it this past winter so I figure that I can go 150km. I'll carry oil with me, and maybe a 2 litre msr bottle if they they let meI was looking at sprockets and ratios this am so the husky wouldn't have to shriek down the gravel sections.
I have the BMW Dakar but I think it is way too heavy.
I'm riding it with a couple of KTm 450's and a DRZ.
I agree FTF, There should be a team husky 2 smoke. And everybody complained about the fog last time!!!
Ontario Boys are up early aren't they!

Yup, FTF has everything.... I'm going to try a 15t on the front and a smaller .... maybe a 41t on the back.
Still have to figure out lights, tires and a bunch of other stuff.
 
As a rough guess, you will need probably 75-100w of lighting capacity. You may need an upgraded stator for that.
 
On the fast dualsports I run 15/48 gearing. It ends up like the six speed without using first. Mine works great this way.
 
Thanks:

Looks like I have to figure out lighting.... does anyone know what a stock wr stator puts out? Any suggestions on someone for a rewind with more output?
