• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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/TC TX 300 lower radiator frame mounts bent..left more than right side

It started with the spring Mini-pine enduro where I made contact with a tree in third gear about a minute into first stage....bent my left radiator back and peeled the left plastics off. The bullet proof radiator guard did SUCH a great job that it didn't affect the rad at all...just the mount where the rad joins the frame. It actually cracked the frame mount and pulled it back. Still attached but..

I figured, meh...least of my worries...zip tied the plastic together with stitches and looks and functions fine.

Training ride with a local and had one of those, "what happened" slips on a root and dropped bike to the right side. Noticed same, but not to the same extent, frame mount bent causing the rad guard to slightly dent my pipe and actually cracked my carbon fibre pipe guard slightly.

So...the question....how the heck do you fix these mounts? Do I need to have a shop re weld these(post season) back in position? Apprehensive to any attempt to pull them back into alignment. Can snap some pics if this doesn't make sense.
 
The only radiator guards I've ever liked were the ones that have a brace that runs from the side of the rad back to the frame or engine mount. In other words at a diagonal to a point behind the radiator. I haven't found any for the TX yet, but I will buy in a heart beat if I find them.

Funny you should say that! A guy beside me riding an old school Honda Cr250 with 450 plastics had that same set up.....yup....agreed...makes a lot of sense
