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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Richochet skid

I've got a dead one you can have. Hate to say it, but I won't recommend this skid plate for the 630.
 
I'm very pleased with the Hyde plate.
The Ricochet did it's job, but died doing it due to the way it's mounted.

I've got the Hyde on my SMS, it's kept my engine covers out of the dirt and gravel a few times and keeps rocks off of the front of the motor. But I'm not boulder-hopping with it... :P

I did have to trim a little notch in it to clear the shifter.

You have to call George there Telephone - (714) 540-2920 or order from a vendor that carries his stuff. I believe the usual suspects do.. motoxotica, halls, bills, etc.. Ive aways dealt directly with him cause I dont know anyone else that will spend an hour on the phone with you talking you through a (scary for you) repair.
 
Am still waiting for my Hyde plate to turn up.
Has been over a month already, think its just cleared customs so should be with me soon.

Make sure if you haven't heard anything from them you send an email and chase it up.
Only got the dispatch note after sending a couple of emails.

Will comment on how it is but from other peoples comments it should be a good product.
 
I got mine within 5 days :D

When you mount it up, check your shifter arm clearance. You may have to notch the plate slightly to keep it from interfering.

Finally got mine.
Looks like it was worth the wait, build quality is good.
Seems strong and light, was a little dubious going for a plastic skid plate but reading posts on here have put me at ease.

Shall have to get it fitted at the weekend and test it out :)
