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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Who makes this skid plate?

I've done some searching and only found this skid plate one place, but it doesn't say who the manufacturer is. I see the Husky logo on it, is it a Husqvarna part? Anyone know? Its' on my TE310r. I'm thinking of replacing it with a Hyde racing skid plate (I liked it much better than aluminum on my last bike). So if I sell this I want to know what I'm offering for sale. :)
 
I'd say if it's marked "Husqvarna" and has their crown logo. It must be from a then Husky hard parts catalog. Don't know who would have been able to have made them for them under license. An aftermarket vendor would not be allowed I imagine to use the Husqvarna logo unless that business paid dearly to provide these for Husky. It's Nicely done though by the way.
I run the Hyde on my G450X right now too and love it.

I just got a nice black" P3 Carbon fiber skid plate" for my new FE501. It was sold as a "blem" by the manufacturer as it was said to have a few bubbles in its manufacturing process during curing. I've looked it over pretty well and can't even find them. ebay $119.00.. Nice piece let me tell you and no extra vibration like the aluminum ones.

The stock skidplate on my new FE501 one doesn't have or offer much protection for me where I ride from the looks of it and the new KTM's don't even have one stock.

Up until BMW bought them many of us aftermarket manufacturers were allowed to use the logo. Also if it is not exact there is little they can do about it. George form uptite puts them on his stuff...

So when they make skid plates and other parts for other models and other brands does he use their logos too. That was my point. I figured it must have been from the Husky catalog. This could get a bit edgy doing this in manufacturing. If that's not the case. You know what I'm saying?

Hey Kelly, do you offer a SUB mount stabilizer for the FE 501? With built in bar riser. If so is it rubber mounted and I would probably set it to use the 3rd position for the bars as that's the most popular position on the 2015 trees?
