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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Are the USA subframes carbon fibre? If so anyone know the RRP on them?

We have 'polycarb' or whatever it is.
 
Is this what you are talking about? (See Pictures) The factory subframes are made with an injection molding process with approximately 30% carbon particles in the polyamide plastic mixture added for strength.

If you want a full factory race bike style carbon fibre subframe for the newer '14' 15' 16 Husky's. They are available. Cha Ching !!

Look no further than "CRM Compositi" they make the Factory Race bike Carbon Fibre subframes and many other Carbon Fibre products. Look at their Facebook page. Or: www.crmcompositi.com they are in Livorno Italy

Munn Racing has the new Husky 2016 parts schematics online already. Here's a new 450 subframe. Also have the 701 enduro listed...

According Munns the 2015 USA (I hope carbon effect) is only:

8130300211030 SUB FRAME UPPER PART CPL. 14 $153.99 $153.99
8130300222030 SUB FRAME L/S cpl. $69.72 $69.72
8130300213030 SUB FRAME R/S CPL. 2014 $89.20 $89.20
Your Total $312.90

That's a lot less than I would of expected
 
The new ones have some holes in them supposedly to increase airflow and reduce weight. Not sure if was available on the 2015 model.
 
I believe on those CRM factory molded CF subframes the "hand holds" are actually functioning vents that are completely open into the airbox (under the seat). This is where the engine/airbox breathes from on the factory race bikes.
To back that up if you carefully at the far side of the bike with no seat you can see the blue background through the passage, its a straight shot into the airbox from under the seat (which is effectively the top of the airbox.. on our OEM stock customer bikes that hand hold is a show piece, like they do on cars with fake vents to look cool.
 
You are absolutely right about that Robert, The underseat area is totally redesigned on these subframes. That's why I included the picture with the seat off. To show the direct access to the airfilter.
 
hey I will have a look later today...maybe we can dremel a passage there....the only problem I can see if it is even possible is that the Plastic standard subframe has not been stress tested for that and it may weaken the structure whose material and molding was not designed for that opening.
 
Chips are flyin at Roberts house. Bust out the die grinder and a coarse aluminum burr and I'm not talking about no air powered peanut grinder either.

Now this is a proper diegrinder !

What the hell is a "Dremel" ?? just kidding, LOL ! My Grandpa had one of those little Santa Clause helpers toys.

He built Nuclear Power plants and worked at Oakridge Tennessee on the Atomic Bomb. But couldn't make a package of Fricken Jello in a kitchen yet made a cup of tea for my Grandma twice a day. I told him next time he does that stir in a cup of hot water with the Jello in a bowl and add another cup of cold water from the same tea cup and put it in the fridge. He thought he was a chef after he did that the first time.
He could sit and explain the entire theory of the "critical mass" and how to build an atomic weapon over a steak dinner but could hardly boil water without Burning himself.
 
Reveille,
I thought you were the one who does your own stunts. LOL!!

I'm a fat F*** at 230lbs but I'm down from a former 265 lbs. but won't ride without all my gear ever and wear 30 lbs more weight in riding gear but haven't had any separation issues with a gap forming in my subframe so far but by bike only has 888 miles on it. Maybe I stand up more than I think. I'm '57 though so I doubt it.
 
I cant do quotes for some reason but I think the 2015 250 and 450 have the new extra vent on the subframe.... MXA said the 350 did not have new extra vent :(

Maybe it was only the 250/450 usa bike that got the carbon look subframe? Can anyone confirm if they all had it?

Ive now added 'uni filters' inserts to both of my sidepanels.
 
Been following this thread and figured I'd post subframe pics of the 15 FC250. My 15 FC450 is supposed to have the same subframe depending on where you read... mine does not though.

 
I read somewhere that the FC subframe is lower so be careful thinking it will be a direct replacement.
