george, how are those pipes coming for the 2 smokes? i need an 87 430 uptite pipe!
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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Thanks George.I was going off of memory, so sorry I short changed you on the power gains. I remember reading that article and thinking how similar it was in irony to most of the four stroke shootouts of the 90s where the 610 won in every category, but the XR600 would tie it because of price. Then there would be a two page Honda add. LOL!
All I know is my '93 Husky 350 with an Up-tite pipe would only loose about two bike lengths up to about 85mph against my buddy's Al Bakerized XR600 then he'd top out in 5th and get passed, plus he weighed about 75lbs less.

Hey Ryan, how you doin'? George should give you a discount for having his pipe on your avatar here and over at TT, for the last what, 12 years?![]()
