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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Great solution for thermostat bypass

Trail Tech (trailtech.net) makes a product to bypass the thermostat on bikes equipped with them. It is an engineered solution and not only replaces it but adds cooling fins and a temp sending unit. This can then be hooked to a dedicated and inexpensive temp gauge they offer or will interface with any of their computers. Replace the thermostat, get better flow, release more heat via the finned aluminum body and know what temp your bike is running.

I like the unit/idea Kelly, but too much going on behind that radiator, rather mount a cooling fan which l see that bike didn't come out with on...interesting in the bend and diameter of that stock KTM 350 header pipe though??
 
Actually its really clean and less going on than with the stock plastic thermostat unit. That's a TrailTech fan kit with settable temp and temp gauge. That and the thermostat bypass make these bikes run way cooler and not piss their coolant out at every slow technical section.

- Stock headpipe.
