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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Two best add on for a Husky Ohlins TTX shock and
48 mm Marzocchi forks
Ty will be a dealer for the forks soon
Either Ty or David at Fast Bike Industries in North Carolina can make you a shock, now they are available
All my Husky now run the Ohlins shock and are waithing for the new 48mm Marzocchi
 
Ahhh I see. I'd like to try the works stuff and get a feel for the difference myself. Maybe when I'm rich and famous :lol:

Good lookin bike though!

Nope. Done with a hacksaw. Notice the cuts are not wide enough for the blade of a tire groover.

ziz wheel will make the same cut, easier on the arm :) Also interesting they use the Hammerhead holeshot device, not the factory husky peice.
 
A #1 sipe blade is less than 1mm wide. Takes less than 5 mins to do one tire.

Takes about an hour, I'd guess, with a hacksaw and same cuts the rubber. Pitty the guy that has to sit there with half a saw blade hacking away for how long?....I'd use a hot-wire before I did that.
 
Im sure they used a power tool,, like the die grinder type multi tool with a disc toothed cut off wheel. Anyway I am still surprised that most are using regular MX type tires with knobs cut, while the king of extreme enduro/endurocross (Taddy) uses fatty type FIM rears, FIM enduro rubber with split cut knobs
( I am still biased on FIM enduro tires, the 140/80-18 for the E2 E3 size machines), as long as the lower style knobs are fresh)
As far as the somewhat bizarre pimped out colors go (red engine, white rims, black spoke nipples, chrome brushed tank stickers, etc) Endurocross is an indoor spotlighted circus racing act, more bling= more attention for brand/team/rider recognition. (thats my take on that)

Taddy's machine ready for action note: rear tire, cut knob FIM enduro 140/80-18, they are like big balloons that's why I like em they are like me......

Taddy could outride most on a slick....the guys nuts. I LOVE watching him. Got some vid with him wearing out Knighter at the Vegas EX and LMS...Knighter's a class act (now) too.

No arguments there! Taddy has got to be a robot, no mortal man can ride like that. Man, wouldn't it be great to see him on a Husky???
