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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

At 300 miles of life I've burned through my rear pads. My dealer warned me the rear pads are soft and will melt quickly. So what do you all recommend for replacement? I'm definately not going with OEM pads for my bike, but I'll consider OEM pads for other husky models if the concensus is that they'll last. How about aftermarket types? I ride in a diversity of terrain; e.g. two track and single track in the woods and desert with occasional mud, lots of gravely and rocky terrain, mostly intermediately hard type soils, not alot of sand however. My front pad still have a little life, but I'll likely pick up some new ones anyway. Thanks for the recommendations.
 
I just put a set of Tusk (house brand for Rocky Mountain MC) metallic pads on the front of mine. They are less grabby than the stockers on the initial pressure. I don't know how they will hold up just yet, but they work great. They are the exact same configuration Front and rear as my 07 TE450. I thought that the stock brakes on that were too grabby also, and used an SBS carbon pad set that wore out really quickly, and also seemed to wear out the rotor quite a bit, so I won't be using those again. Carbon is also not a great choice in wet conditions.
 
I run the EBC FA208X pads on the rear, I get 2-3 races on a set. I don't run mine to metal though as I like the solid feel when they are like new or over 1/4 pad.
