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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st wr 300 racehead

just joined site and this is my first post and it is a question..

apparently the race head for the wr 300 is not being made any more, and I just went to order one here in Australia and there are none in the country according to the Australian distributor here.. just want to know the name and contact details of the main husky distributors or any companies that would have the race head head in stock or ion fact anywhere I can get one.. I can get my head machined but nearly fell over when I was quoted $600 to have it done.. any suggestions..
 
Try Huskysport in the UK, even with the carriage it was only about $200 which was a lot cheaper than pfg here. Evidently the std head can't be machined to the same spec as race head in any case. I would vouch for the race head though it transforms the bottom end and mid range.
 
Thanks windsurf.. I hope I can get hold of one then.. I have just ordered in an airstriker and would like to put both in at same time a fine tune jetting in one go. Where in qld are you.. im in stanthorpe (granite belt)
 
i had a race head on my WR and its to much !!! good for desert racing maybe . other than that its to much for single track or dual sports
 
I just bought the last race head that my dealer (Tasky's) had in stock! He bought a few when he found out they were being discontinued. I was on the fence until I recently found out they were being discontinued, so I figured I better get one before it's no longer an option. It was a bit of an impulse buy. I'm anxious to see how much more bottom and midrange it produces. I ride mostly single track in the woods in 2nd and 3rd gear keeping the engine just off the pipe and slightly lugging to keep it under control when it's particulary tight or ugly, and then clutching it with a quick throttle twist to lift the front end up over logs and rocks. I'm hoping the race head will give me just that little bit of extra umph on the bottom so that I can simply twist, lift and launch.

So is the swap out fairly straight forward? I also ordered new o-rings. I assume the head comes with the helicoils installed? Can I reuse the original head screws and washers? What about the radiator hose unions? Can I reuse them or should I have ordered new unions?

The coolant hose nipples can be a real bear to remove. Head bolts and washers will go again.
