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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys
a couple of years ago i built a 2001 cr250 from scrap and due to a young family never got much time to use this beast until now, ive been out alot lately and as my riding skills are improving the less the suspension is managing to keep up. The rear shock is easy sorted (just) but im having real problems trying to source new springs for the forks. My question is, should i keep hunting for heavy duty springs for the standard forks or should i upgrade the forks? if so what one's should i get??
 
Call zipty i hear hes all about suspension an kicks serious A in that department
01 marzochi i think but let the experts put us right
 
Thanks for reply juicypips,

yeah they are marzochi, do you think they will have the springs i need?
 
Marzocchi Shiver 45s on that bike, I believe.

They are good quality forks, just need a bit of help to be tuned up for your riding, I wouldn't go through the effort of swapping something else on.

ZipTy should be able to get you springs, but so could many other places, like WER, LTR, Hall's, Solid Performance, Race Tech, or your local suspension tuner. Depending on your riding, a revalve might be in order too.

Kelly did the forks on his old CR and posted a thread here somewhere, might be useful.
