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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a box stock 06 tc450 and I am going to win my ffl which is $600...how do I spend on this bike..don't know if I should go bling(pipe or motosportz jewelry) or functional(suspension or damper or es) I ride about 60 hours a year c class rider(and ok with it) what would you do?
 
I have the same bike. I would send my forks to les at ltr first. If you wanna get faster or enjoy the bike to its full potential thats the first step.
 
As much as I want to say drop it all at Motosportz :D I suggest suspension as well. The single biggest improvement you can make to a bike, especially a husky.

Anyone know what ffl is?


Is he winning a race series with the stock bike he has?
 
with $600

1) Front forks to LTR
2) rear shock to LTR
3) Put some decent Red Husky graphics on it Craig at USMOTOPlastics in Chino, Ca
4) Take the $7.95 leftover and go get a Pastrami and a large coke at "The Hat" by Victoria's Garden
5) option instead of #4 ... buy wife or GF a new Christmas panty at Victoria's Secret....Free with Christmas Coupon in the mail
6) Ride and race with us at Glen Helen!

Hopefully this isn't out of line Woodschick! :)

Yup the ol' Fantasy Football. Are there springs stout enough for a guy closer to 275 than 250 fully dressed to ride. If weight loss continues(was 330 2 years ago) does the revalve stay the same with only the springs changing. Kelly why no rear disk guard for my bike?

I weigh 244 + gear and Les dialed me in perfectly... and yes he has the springs....If Kelly doesn't have one, I saw MSR Malcolm Smith selling some that looked like Rooster '06 rear disc guards on Ebay

If it were me I'd call Les to be sure but my gut says - Once Les did his magic for your weight/riding style - if you then lost much weight then springs would be the main thing to change and valving would be secondary. It depends how picky you are about suspensions.


I have a feeling you will be giddy with excitement with a revalve.

Is there a link for LTR ? The riding season is coming to an end here in New England so I'm starting to plan stuff to do to the bike over the winter and suspension is top of the list.
