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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any ideas how to keep the air box plastic from getting destroyed by my boots rubbing? These side panels are in the worst spot on the KTM's/ Husky's.
 
mine was getting a brown stain on it from my boots when i only pressure washed bike. now after every ride i pressure wash then sponge clean with CT18 truck wash then pressure wash again, the truck wash & sponge clean removes the brown staining on plastics that pressure washer doesn't move & bike looks a lot better & it's also got rid of brown stain from boots rubbing.

not sure if that is what you meant by airbox plastic being destroyed but hope that helps a bit anyway
 
Not too worried on the staining. My dang boots are gouging the bottom corners. It appears ill have to replace them every season at this rate.
 
That actually adds sufficient protection? Tried gorilla tap and chewed right through it. Even with two layers. Maybe these boots just suck?
 
these things are racing dirtbikes.......not concours vehicles.....

This is mine after some months with the OEM 14 plastics, I have since gone through a few sets of 14 style and now later with the 16 shrouds and side covers same thing, they wear from boots and knees. Its just plastic or graphics, even the inbed stuff wears through, they are sacrificial, nature of the beast. Clean the best you can and ride the crap of the bike.
