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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanks for my kid but I did not do anything he didnt even need to get gas. I will try and get info on the husky riders and post what i can learn.
 
Well tell your kid, Good job.
I was telling a friend the other day how I had the urge to do that race. (only sportsman class)
Riding conditions were nice out that way this weekend, a little cool, but comfortable race weather.

Went to Rabbit Ck late Saturday afternoon to test my newly done LT Racing suspension work. I learned my TE is now more than capable for our desert racing, but also confirmed that while the bike can haul across the whoops, at 50 this old rider is another story. Think my racing days are physically long gone now......I did push it bit more than when I trail ride, but after my quick 16 mile loop, I was ready for a beer.
 
How do you like your new spenders I am going to get my new TXC done as I get the money. I have a new 08 TXC 450 and have seen the 50 mark pass me by also. Bike is tall and stiff for a 5-5 155 lb old man but it sure is fun on the move:D Thanks for my kid:cheers:
 
Of course will be a while before I can get up in areas like the Trinities to try it out on tight nasty rocky trails, but I was very pleased with the suspension work on my little run out there at Rabbit Ck.

LTR completely reworked front and rear. Revalve, heavier springs (I'm 240lbs + water/gear), and pulled 1" out of the suspension travel for a little lowering to make it more manageable in the tight mtn trails (a well done redo of claimed 1.5" lowering I allowed our dealer to do...& wasn't happy with)
Les set up clickers to what he thought would work best for me, so all I did was bolt back on, verifiy/adjust rear sag and go ride.

In that short loop I was able to try a good mix of varied size whoops (I know, it's hard to find any whoops out there :lol:), a couple 50+mph runs down sand washes, and some rocky single track.
I felt I had better control and smoother handling, allowing me to relax more and focus on riding rather than jarring I was about to take thru the bars on that next sharp edge hit coming up. Nice fun ride (except for those long runs of narrow 3ft deep whoops. I don't care what I ride, those just are not fun)

About the only thing I didn't try was 3-4ft drop offs or jumps, and had hoped to let the 510 run up to 70 or more to make sure there was still minimal headshake, but especially riding alone, I didn't want to be too stupid.

I think it would be worth while to email and/or call him. Nice guy to chat with and like many others on this site, feel he could really do good on your suspension.
