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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Installed the lowered seat

Corbin seat is perfect at any price

I have Corbins on both my beemers. Spotted one that fits my 310 on craigslist and got it for $280. It doesn't fit the bike very well. The tab in front that locks on to the bolt doesn't grab it well and leaves the hole in back not properly positions for the dzus fastener. I tried adjusting the plate to no avail. I tried a grinder on the plate to turn the crescent into more of a U to help it grab better and move it forward, but it ate more of the grinder than the metal tab. But it did get it to grab well enough that the seat doesn't pop off on you now...

I wonder if I could take the seat down to Corbin and have them fix that....? With a good drill press, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. And they could soften the edge where it transitions to a bit wider, too. It's a bit hard of an edge. Other than that it's a good seat and it is lower than stock.

I bought and installed a lowered seat (Husky part number: COD. 8000H2442) today and my stubby legs now reach the ground on both sides of my '08 TE. If anybody thinks their bike is too tall, this is a quick way to shave almost 1.4 inches (35mm) from the seat height.

Two toes down for this great mod!

Why did you choose the seat over a lowering Link for the suspension? Just curious.

:lol: I want a balsa wood seat!

Sounds like I might need to look into one of these seats. I didn't realize the difference was that great. I could use a little more lowering, but I didn't want to go more than 1" on the suspension. Hmm...

I got a Seat Concepts lowered seat for my 610. I think 1+ " lower and it's comfy.
I really like it. I know you can sit on your bike all day, but I never could and now with the seat I can. I have a lowered SC seat on my 450 and a standard heigth on the WR. They are all real good.
 
Seat Concepts for sure. Well made and when I sent mine in... it was back to me in less than 48-hours!!

The lowered one they did for me is flatter and very comfortable.

Sorry for the late response, I've been very busy and haven't been reading CH.

The original plan was to do it all, but after the seat change, and more time on the bike I found that I didn't really need to do the link. I think I just got used to the tall bike. I chose to do the seat first because it didn't change the bike suspension geometry. It was also less $$.
