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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pro X Pistons

I've never used them. The lower price does seem attractive, but Wiseco has NEVER let me down. I gladly pay the little extra knowing I'll get a consistent product.

The same company owns wiseco and prox. Not sure how that all works though. It's for a different brand bike so its OEM or prox. Decided to go on instead of saving 50 bucks
 
We sell Wiseco, JE, and ProX. All three brands are owned by the same company, PMI. Typically, this is how they compare to each other:​
​
ProX - Cast piston, similar to OEM, economically priced.​
​
Wiseco - Forged Piston, improvement over OEM, medium price.​
​
JE - Forged Piston, premium product with all the tricks, highest price. ​
​
Depending on what you are building and how you use it, a ProX piston is an excellent replacement for the OEM piston.​
​
but pro-x makes forged pistons as well?...still much cheaper than the opposition. ​
​
​
Correct. Some ProX pistons are forged, but most cast.


this is from Millenium Technologies
 
I was told that Pro X pistons are a way to market pistons that didn't pass quality control for Wiseco or whoever. Friends who have used them, all have had early failures. I use OEM, Vertex, or Wossner.
