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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Which new springs for my TC450?

I am 220lbs with full gear on a stock 2006 TC450 with 50mm Shivers. I keep bottoming out on the front end. I have set the rear sag properly and turning is good too. Talking to Hall's, my stock springs are .48kg and he has .50kg and .52kg springs for me. I'm riding rough desert hardpack with large whoops and jumps. I'm thinking of going with the .52kg springs and maybe lowering the oil level 5mm-10mm. Think the .52 springs will be too harsh? Should I go with .50kg and raise the oil level?

Anyone got any suggestions?

I'd get Race Tech springs. They come a bit short and with spacer washers to add preload. That way you could get the .52 Kg/mm springs and shim them as needed to get the sag you want.
