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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Let's See your 'Tard!

Looks great! Where did you get the black radiator shrouds and side pannels? I haven't had much luck finding the side pannels for the dual exhaust, in anything but white. Who did the graphics? Thinking the 08 450RR had the black plastic and graphics like that, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
Yes the plastic is from a 08 RR got it from Husqvarna the Graphics are from a
08 RR I got them from LR Designs In the UK they are Better than the Husky
ones which I had but they kept pealing off the LR Designs ones are awsome.

I called a local dealer, a while back, with part numbers for that 08RR plastic and was told it was no longer available. :excuseme:
I'll check out LR designs for some graphics. Thanks, again.
 

Installed the ZipTy airbox breather tank but now one of the rocker cover bolts is leaking, so waiting on a gasket kit to fix that, will get the dealer to change all the gaskets when it goes in for its 10,000km service next week.

Mulling over wheel bases at work today and with the new fork bottoms the wheelbase is minus 10-20mm down to 1440-1450mm (depending on gearing etc), if I could be bothered (which I can't!) to mess around with spring rates etc. I could look at putting on my spare shorterened swingarm and getting the wheelbase down to 1410mm with an effective triple clamp offset of 0mm. Would make things interesting!
 
Oh, and find where this damn leak is coming from, all gaskets on the rocker cover replaced and it's still weeping.
 
Yeah this appeared when I stuck the oil recirc kit on, you just ran a little around the grommets and the rocker cover or the grommets and the bolts?

Seems to be coming from the front left grommet.
 
Yep thats the one bud front left. Just a smear on both sides of the grommet. Just make sure shes completely oil free first.
 
May have gone a little overboard with the liquid gasket...
