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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Stock pipe VS. FMF Gnarly

I've heard there isn't much difference in performance between the stock pipe and a FMF Gnarly, is this true ?
 
Wow...I always thought the Gnarly was supposed to be a bit smaller diameter for more bottom and a bit more stout than most pipes.
 
The bike (not a Husky) I bought my Gnarly pipe for had two versions offered for it. A "Woods" or low end pipe and a "Desert" or rev pipe. This bike was so annoyingly perky off the bottom and so flat past mid range, that I ordered the Desert pipe for it. It made the bike much smoother and more usable all the way around.
 
I have one buddy that claims the Gnarly gave him more top end without an appreciable loss of bottom and another buddy who claims that the loss of bottom was so severe as to make his bike unrideable:eek:.

The second guy bought a new stock pipe (very expensive) because he can't abide by the Gnarly. I'm trying to get the Gnarly from him to try it out myself. I can't believe it could make that big a difference.

I have tried a HGS pipe and I prefer the stock pipe. The HGS gave a little more mid to top with a small loss of bottom. I went back to stock as I thought it fit better and relegated the HGS to a spare.
