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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Holy mama this bike is fun. I came from a KTM 525 and one thing stood out more than anything else.... On my 525 if I stood while riding I almost immediatly got tired and would sit. I thought it was cause I was old and lazy. On this bike I stood the whole time and wasnt even aware I was standing and going hella lot faster and smoother. As a matter of fact I was moving along faster casual pace than I would on my 525 and the front end caught a mud patch and flew me into a gliding stop on my left side on a dirt mound bending my left radiator back a couple inches on my maiden voyage(grrr).

I had no idea that "spread out" feeling could do that...or is that becuase I was "cramped" before? Either way I am happy now :D

So no leakage anywhere. Think its save to bend back and go or should I just get a new radiator?(Yes lesson learned and will buy a new strong metal brace:banghead:)

It looks reversable. Bend it back and see if it leaks. If its ok, just save the replacement for next time...
 
I beat mine all to hell on my 02 CR250 and only had a few smalls leaks after all that beating ... Mylers can fix that but I bet you can straighten that out yourself and not have any issues ... UR fins all look good to me ... I had to get radiators guards for mine as I crash just too often ...
 
Nice!

Motosportz makes some nice rad guards. I have them on my 300 and no issues.... and I am a habitual radiator abuser and regular Mylers customer. At least I was!

I recently rode a new KTM300 and could not believe how cramped it felt. It was really quick steering and felt tiny. Not bad, just different.

Lots of Husky 300's out there now it seems :thumbsup:
"If you build it they will come"..... hopefully we'll see a WR200 next.
