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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc HOLY CRIPES! Nitrogen reservoir failure on our CR 150.

Anyone ever see this before? Cody was practicing on the CR 150 yesterday and overshot a double. When he landed I heard what sounded like a muffled shotgun blast. He pulled off the track and this is what we found: :eek:

Thank God the thing evidently ricocheted off his boot instead of taking the meat off of his calf muscle. We searched the track for an hour trying to find the piece/pieces to no avail. WTF?
 
I'm surprised that the piston is still in there....or at least that's what it looks like.
 
Never seen anything like that Krieg. Glad it didn't end with body injury to Cody. Hey there is a Ohlins rep right in NC; we are sending my WB165 and my son's TM for the Ohlins TTX stuff.

I wonder if he could build it with the inverted reservoir of the '10-'12 CR 125/150's?
 
If anyone in the NW is interested I would gladly trade my 09 shock for a newer one. As a woods rider I just want to be able to change jets easier and will not be caseing any tripples so I am probably safe from exploding shocks.

Otherwise I think changing the reservoir is real expensive. I asked Les about it once and the parts are not cheap.
 
Just have someone like Drew Smith at WER put a bladder conversion in and freshen it all up and you'll be good to go as the parts that you lost get removed during the bladder update anyway. He did our '10 CR125 and it works great!
 
There is no way to compair a sacks to a Ohlin TTX Scaks is a standard shock the TTX is in it own class
 
Good to hear my son is going for the TTX on his 2011 TM 250 MX! Do it Krieg....I think Cody would like it too :D. BTW I don't think, no I know I wouldn't rebuild that one!
