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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 450 vibes

Was thinking about installing the counter balance in my 08 te450. Researched the hell out of it and pretty sure i can get it done on my own. Before i split this thing open thought i might look into something i had on a fxr Harley. They rubber mounted the engine on select models and they are the smoothest riding harleys ever in my opinion. Any reason a person couldnt rubber mount the front 4 attach points at the frame and even fab up a swingarm bushing at rear were engine attaches to frame. HA King has the type of parts to possibly make this work. Some areas may need extra attention like muffle, hoses, throttle body etc but all are rubber as well so may just where out a little faster. Any thoughts out there on the subject? I could just sell it and buy something else but that would be to easy.

On a another lighter subject. Who makes the best replacement plastics.
 
Flex bars help a tad but clearly do not eliminate the vibes eminating from the pegs. In the bush riding hard or on focussed single track you do not notice the vibes. Over time it becomes part and parcel of the bike.
