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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Give me some advices on exhausts? Approx 1997 610TC

Thanks George.:notworthy: 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!:excuseme:

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.

I had that experience of racing a honda 600 with a husky 350 before on a gran prix course that included a drag strip and road course. After battling the guy for most of the race and beating him near the end he came up to me and said my 610 was pretty fast, the look on his face was priceless when I told him it was a 350. :)
 
Clutch primary gear 427,kick idler620 gear,kick gear 391,all big tooth.
These are in the process of being made.
Most of the early rod kits rods are done but still sourcing good silver cage needle bearings(only thing so far is chinese just won't go there.
Having some more gaskets made.
Making some tooling for rubber parts as in carb to airbox connections.
Just a lot in the works.
Later George
 
I ran near all these pipes over the past years, '96 410 had stock, Malcolm Smith (basically a SuperTrapp), then finally a BigGun which I liked most out of those, '98 610 had an UpTite system, TE400 had an FBF. My Uptite was best and just fit perfect, with the FBF being second, as huskyFatman mentioned.

Currently have an unrestricted end cap stainless GPR can with stock headers, on the '00 TE410. It's ok, but likely have some jetting to sort out.

George, can you do a full system for this bike (00410), and if so, any ideas on gains over stock or over what I have roughly now?

Would be nice to have a proper full system on this bike you know. Uptite's can't be beat on these older single cammers! :cheers:

Note: To the OP, BigGun might have something for you in their coffers of old designs, if not George maybe as mentioned....
 
Sweet, thanks George. So, just a matter of me calling and sending in the pre-payment, Uptite style? :popcorn:
 
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?:cheers:

You know, that's the smartest thing I've heard all day!! How in the heck did I not come to this same conclusion?! Nice man!! Thanks for looking out for me. I did leave a message for George...maybe he'll hook me up for such! haha

Doing ok! Just thought I've been putting too much money in my other projects and the huskys have been ignored. I'm changing that now, so glad these great threads are popping up to remind me of these bikes' amazingness, all of which I know you fully appreciate too! Good to see you on here too Don! :thumbsup:
