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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc damper on WR300

to clarify.. I actually had no headshakes and can't really tell that this change affected the bike in any negative way...on my last ride I was trying to go bit faster and position my weight closer forward and had no issues with steering on losing front traction..but that extra inch of being closer to the ground matters a lot to me in tight stuff... perhaps proper suspension mod is in order sometimes in the future, but right now, I am pretty happy

My primary reason for damper is to reduce hand fatigue in rocks and assist with wheel deflection over stuff.

today i had to do 1 mile highway run at 70mph+ and bike was steady as on rails (with damper set at lowest setting)
