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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ducati vs Triumph vs adventure bike

Not sure how they are equipped now but I had an '08 standard. I saved the extra $$ over the "S" model and set input up my way. The only thing that sucked on the bike was the Zoke forks. They were terrible on choppy pavement and rail crossings. I figured no big deal, I know Zokes I'll just revalve them. Guess again, crimped together cartridges! Still I loved that bike, wish I still had it. The problem you will face with any new Ducati(and other Twins as well), is getting it to run as it should , which means having the ECU reflashed open loop and scrapping the cat exhaust. My neighbor has a new Monster and it's obviously lean. Even my '08 was a different bike with the race ECU. For that reason I would save the $5K and put it toward this fix. FWIW, the Termi kit does not address this. It's illegal for the mfg to supply any components that do not meet emissions standards. When I had mine this was not the case, it just had to be intended for race use only.
