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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
P3?
Thanks...will do. His website has no product photos?
Yep, thats the one I was thinking of. Pricey but does what you need.
Not been working for a while. He is no web master but he sure knows his shat about bikes.
So I've heard. I'm not waiting....I'll find another solution.
Exactlly the same as I did, works for me too.First ride out on my TE wrecked a pair of Olympia Ranger pants. Header wrap has worked quite well for me. About $30 on Amazon will buy a 50' roll of 2" wide stuff, enough for three applications on my bike. I recommend avoiding any of the "colored" stuff, as it doesn't last and only makes a mess. It works great protecting my gear, and I like the look.
I talked to George. Great guy, but he doesn't have a pipe guard for the more forward portion of the pipe. I already have his little guard on the rearward section (discovered this after talking to him)
Ya, I may have to go that route. Radio silence from the P3 guy so far.I think P3 one is going to be your best one. I have never been a fan of heat wrap, looks ghetto, and I don't think anyone has made anything else. I made my own heat guard on the back side. You could probably make your own front on the same way. Take a piece of SS or Aluminum and form it in a curve shape, 2 SS hose clamps, 2 SS pan head allen screws 8X10MM and 2 8mm nuts to fit the pan heads.

We have this one on my husband's 2009 TXC 450. The quality is not nearly as good as a P3 I'm sure, but it has held up for a couple of years of heavy usage and it seems to keep pants from melting. You have to be patient with the installation. It mounts with three standoffs secured by hose clamps. The guard then bolts to the standoffs, which is nice because you can remove the guard without having to remove all the clamps.

I attached a couple of pics of ours. You can see that it lost a chunk out of the bottom front and the carbon pulled through at the front bolt hole. Well...hopefully you can see through the dirt.
