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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've looked through some o the pipe threads on here but haven't seen much about this one

Anybody run one of these or heard anything about them?
 
if its that important I can probably find out the spec of this pipe but educated guess is that its a Fatty spec pipe. Just a slight it more oomph than the OEM pipe.
 
Just curiosity... Haven't heard or read really anything about it but I was doing some shopping and came across it. Unfortunately I was going through the 300 and found a crack in the stocker.

So I'm going to get another one and repair the stock one and save for emergency situations. I might get the dep but not sure yet. Just checking out some options I guess.
 
on my 2016 TE 300 I dented the thin stock pipe the first weekend Then I installed a FMF Graley with a Turbin core spark arrestor
Also added a P3 pipe guard I have raced the National Hare and Hound where it pulled 6th gear all the way to the top about 80 mph Then the following weekend finished King of the Moto and it once again performed perfect I have yet to hurt or ding the FMF pipe even after KOM
Just get a FMF and you will be happy I used the graley Next weekend is a Big 6 GP at Glen Helen so soon I will have raced it on just about every type of track
 
Well I pulled the trigger on the fmf above. It won't be my last pipe! Should be here on Friday just in time for a good weather weekend. Will follow up after a good test ride.
 
9 hours on my '15 TE300, 4 pipes, Scalvini on the way. Think I'll just hang it on the wall in my office and look at it until my X-Treme Pipe Guard Combo comes in.
 
My config is the same as John Gnarley with powercore 2 S/A silencer. ....grarleys take a beating, I need to send mine in though its got some dents...
 
my rotable pipe pool is 1 installed (FMF gnarley). 2 OEM, 1 FMF Fatty, 1 FMF Gnarley all need to be sent in for re-do/rejig, dent removal.
John Gnarly add the side cover vent mod, the thing will pull even more tractor like. Actually for our upcoming romaniacs type 1 day adventure I may run a stock side cover to soften the torque for and even a less fatigue factor ride.

Only one ride on my 2016 TE 300 last weekend, felt a bit soft on the low end coming of my 2005 exc 300 with Gnarley (and slightly lower gearing). Was way controllable though and smooth compared to the old beastie. I think this is a good thing for the most part on the tighter stuff.

I don't think that i will put a pipe guard on, will just wait until beat up the OEM and get another Gnarly. Sounds like the power core 2 is the one to pair with this pipe?

Regarding the air box mod, I think I will purchase a new air box cover and mod so i can swich back and forth, to see what kind of difference it makes and to add another demension of tunability. Better yet, when I visit my folks in lower south Carolina and ride our sand timber roads, will put the red spring in and the modded air box cover. That is the only place i ride WTFO on the pipe. More like road racing. Controlled high speed sliding through relatively shallow sand on the pipe. Is really fun but gets a bit boring after a while. Is flat as hell down there but it is the only place I could ride my old 300 on the pipe (without killing my self). Riding a 300 totally on the pipe will bring a smile to your face in a hurry.

As an aside, a fellow walked up to me last weekend to discuss my bike as he was thinking about getting something smaller that his Italian husky 610. He saw that it was a 300 and asked if it had enough power for me. I looked at him like he was crazy and then it hit me that he thought my bike was a 4 stroke! :eek:
 
I'm thinking about topping it off with power core 2 but I might have a gun pointing at me when I get home haha I've already bought 7602 radiator braces, ims tank, new chain and sprockets, new pipe, water pump impeller from checkpoint, new back tire, left hand radiator and some other crap too all in the past couple weeks and I think My wife is starting to catch on to the damage haha
 
I wouldn't know... I run an aluminum pipe guard on all my huskies. All in all this is a great pipe. Mid to top pull quite a bit stronger while bottom is pretty close to same or maybe a tad stronger. Another thing I noticed is that it seems like the bike bogs a lot more while warming up? Kinda weird but seems like it takes a little longer to warm up as well. But once warmed up it runs damn good
 
Also my guess would be that Robert is right... Probably fatty spec based on the way it runs and talking to a few guys I ride with that run or have run fatties.
 
if its a fatty based pipe it would be smoother on transition to the band and allot more top end power, bottom end is close to stock but there is will be less torque in the low end.
 
Well it definately didn't lose any torque that's for sure. Definately more mid and top end pull and seems seems to rev out a little higher too...
