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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dualsported TXC449 out the door

It rides just like my TXC511...which to say, awesome!!! Did a twisty turney poker run a week ago. Bike handled every root, hill, rock and tree (avoidance) with aplomb. It did remind me that for off road work going down one tooth on the countershaft is a great upgrade.

Also added a Seat Concepts seat kit, purchased from Bills and the Nomad 3 liter tank from Motosportz this week. Plans for riding the Rat Dog dualsport run last weekend were interrupted by ....life.

Need some bark busters to complete the package and will swap the Uptite skidplate off my 511 since that bike primarily see GP course duty now (suspension update on the 511 soon)

So you got rid of the TE250 and now have a TXC511 and TXC449? Odd. Although after riding my 511 more and more I think a TC449 would be cool to have and use as my primary off road bike as the TE511 is loaded with DS extras. Still a great dirt bike but a stripped TC449 would be butter and i think i might prefer it over a 250/310.
 
Who you calling odd ??? ;)

Yes the 511 is set up a my race bike (and my brother is probably going to ride it the rest of the year) and the 449 is set up as my dualsport rig. The chassis and engine works quite well for both purposes. And yes I traded the very lightly used 250 on the 449, so you can pick up a nice low hours 250 at BMP cheap.

Your TC idea would also have worked, but I already had the non-plated 511 so I needed something plateable for dualsporting. And now I can swap wheels, suspension, etc to suit.
