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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

P3 Carbon fibre header guard

G'day peoples just got a P3 carbon header guard for my 511,it looks cheap and not of good quality, it looks like a piece of pvc pipe shaped and covered in carbon fibre,around the bolt holes has a yellowing imperfection through the fibre and it has grey overspray on it from where they painted the back of the guard,I was disappointed when I unwrapped it considering the wrap up they have been getting, I covered my genuine husky muffler guard with a carbon vinyl car wrap and it looks a whole lot better than the P3,not buying anymore of there products, anyone else got a dodgy product from them?
 
Cool cool. I wish he'd just tell us how long the wait is, would make it a lot easier.
Too bad about the quality, most of the pictures I've seen look really good.

That's why I got one all the pics of them have been schmick looks good on my bike though,if you don't give it a examination,but it's there for heat protection and it does a great job of that.
 
I like mine a lot. Light as a feather and strong as steel. On the web site it said they were way behind and it would be a few month delay. I didn't expect 6 months. But it is better and cheaper and probably faster than I could make one. IMG_0703.JPG

I made mine in less than hour (of labor) for about $10 (of course I cheated and made one-offs without a mold). The finish is not as superb as it would be if it were pulled from a mold, but acceptable.

Okay, I have left a phone message and two emails to this Pirie character. Not a single response from him (them).

I have to say, this has to be the absolutely worst place/person I have ever tried to do business with.
 
We are excited to announce that Pirie Performance Products has been acquired by P3 Composites, LLC of Hurricane, West Virginia. Read the full Press Release here.

Our mission statement is to continue to manufacture the finest quality carbon fiber protection products for off-road motorcycles, made with pride in the USA. Manufacturing is up and running in our new facility and we are quickly developing new products and applications.

P3 is well known to the hardcore off-road motorcyclist as the best stuff available and is used by top athletes including Mike Lafferty, Jason Thomas, Shane Watts and Kailub Russell. Here is a recent testimony from one of our customers:

Pipe guard arrived today. Much better looking than E-Line with great fit after installation. Primary purpose is to keep from getting burned if bike lands on me in crash and with the ample standoff space, it should be effective.

Our product application list is much wider than our competition and is expanding daily. Our newest applications include the KTM 250/350 SX-F 13-14 Heat Shields as well as all new products for the KTM 1190 Adventure. We are also flexible at developing new products upon your request.

We are very optimistic about a new colored product that is currently in development. P3's new Bi-Weave Composite line will be the first and only colored-carbon fiber product available in the off-road industry. We expect this exciting new product line to hit stores before Christmas, your customers will love this stuff! Here is a prototype set on Jason Thomas's GNCC XC2 national championship bike.

P3, I would have been more impressed to see you address his concerns on your product than to market new stuff. Kind of looks like a low blow...
