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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Or they were dumb enough since Husqvarnas did sponsor this event in the past years and stopped after KTM's purchase. Is it worth the ost if you don't have a rig at events??
Yes also thinking about one of these for dual purpose unfortunately the S is not available in Australia does any one know all of the differences between the S and the more enduro race version?
You mean FORTUNATELY it's not available in OZ I suppose. They are the same except the S is limited power due to smog and environmental rules and regulations in some states in the US.
Yes, street legal. Comes with mirrors, lights and indicators and a loom for it in the box.
Yes, the 2015 factory FE 350/501S seat is revised with really nice materials and different foam but this time around I was not willing to wait a year for it to break in, and learned the same on my Beta 450. Actually, the new seat is not "bad", it's just the alternative is so much better.
The Seat Concepts Standard Comfort seat is so much (drastically) better seat support and way more comfortable than a '14 or '15 Husky, KTM, Beta seat. I will never to back to a factory seat after this. If you are on your pegs most of the time, probably does not matter but when you ride 70 miles back and forth just getting to offroad trails, the extra width (now 8" rear) makes a big difference. I never think about the seat on those 250+ mile day rides. The only thing I regret about the seat is I should have bought one for my former Beta sooner, waited too long and did it day-2 on the new Husky.
Shortly, you'll be able to buy the whole seat and pan new vs. sending yours in/back and dealing with shipping, and you get to keep your factory seat too...
A few photos right before I bolted it back on.
