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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys,

Anyone know if the Scorpian skid plate works on the '06 WR125 frame? Their website lists '07 as the earliest year.

I called and spoke to Steve at Scorpian, he said they haven't been able to verfiy fit on the earlier bikes because they don't have any dealers/access to the bikes. He said he has a bunch of them in inventory that he would love to sell.

I just got the Ricochet skid plate, was VERY excited that it showed up at my door so fast. First impression, wow, this box looks small. That's weird. Turns out the damn thing isn't very big, doesn't extend back past the drain whole area far at all. No protection for the frame back by the peg area at all. Wings up front do not go up very high either.

Total bummer.

If someone could confirm fitment or not of the Scorpian for the '06 model year, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Ed
 
Thanks for the info guys! I'll pass it along to Steve at Scorpian. He's a real nice guy, would be nice to see him move more of his inventory and keep him supporting the brand. -Ed
 
I picked up some rad guards from scorpion. Nice product good fit. Would take one of those skid plates from them. But that price is hefty compared to the one I fabbed up.
 
Yep, Steve was telling me that he'd like to be able to price his pieces lower in order to be more competitive in the US, he's working on some arrangements around that now.
 
Here's some pics of the Ricochet skid plate on my '06 WR125 if anyone is interested. Its a nice fit and looks like a quality piece. Just doesn't extend far enough back IMO. I'm worried about the frame rails back there getting hammered.
