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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The new rear subframe that's made from plastic how strong is it?

I'm a 300lb rider?

What if the rider puts his kid or chick on the back and go for a little ride?

Now modern plastics have a life expectancy??

Example, the new plastic pistols of today have a fourty year life expectancy. But there not in the elements.

What's the safety factor or is it just enough to get by?

Can I get a steel subframe replacement?
 
I wouldnt be to worried. The pros put more pressure on that subframe then a recreational rider or even novice rider could ever dream of. Even if it were to break i doubt itd stop you from riding home. Theres a lot holding it together like the sest and 4 anchor points to the frame.
 
You won't have any trouble with the subframe, I had a good crash already where the side and subframe took a good pounding. No cracks or bending it all just springs back. If it had been aluminum or steel I'd be buying a new subframe.
 
I've got 62 hours on mine and I am 220. It's really a composite, not plastic. It is tough stuff.

The only way you could get a steel replacement is if you made it. I wouldn't sweat it at all. Like LandofMotards said, pros pound these thing WAY harder than we do.
