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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Engine/Pipe guard combo

Look up slavensracing.com he has a video review on the Emperor skid plate. The last time I was at his shop I looked at the Emperor, it's well made and it is lighter than it looks. I'm hoping to get a new TX 300 in the next few months and I'm going to put one on it. The reason I like them they have a layer of plastic on the bottom. My last few bikes have had Hyde bash plates on them. They work great also but no matter what skid plate you get, if you hit a rock at warp speed your pipe is going to get trashed. The plastic ones (Hyde) slide over rocks and don't reflect the engine like aluminum plates.

never seen one on his sight of the type im lookibg for, some will save pipe on lower half
 
I run a P3 carbon fiber skid plate and a P3pipe guard over my FMF Granely Lets see 2,300 off road miles 2 King of the Motos 2 Last dog standings and about 15 Nationals Hare and Hounds over 2 years Same pipe and the Same guards Plus they are still working

Don't think any other set up will last that long
 
My vote is close to Johns, P3 pipe guard, TMD skidplate with an Obie link guard. I like the plastic material of the TMD plate. Cant think of the name but extreme guys are using a plastic one (skid plate) that has integrated link guard.
 
This setup has seen mostly rock (not much else around unfortunately) and a solid beating since day one on the bike and it holds up well. I also run the Obie link guard for now (not shown in here). Looking into another setup possibly. Skid plate is a factory husqvarna one and pipe guard is a typical aluminum one. Can’t remember what brand. On my 2nd pipe not because of crushing it but because the factory one cracked so I got an fmf.
