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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Zip-TY Suspension Review

Ok, first off I am and old guy that still likes to ride MX. I have always been able to get my bikes suspension dialed in over the years and have only sent my suspension off for reworking 2 other times in 40 + years, so doing so does not come easy for me.
I have a 2013 Husqvarna TC 449 and the suspension from the factory was very strange. The shock spring and dampening were very harsh as were the forks. The bike had bad head shake and was beating me to death while not having traction out of turns and not reacting well to MX jumps even with the correct static and race sag dialed in.
I had spoken with several different suspension companies about have the units re-valved and sprung for my weight and my MX riding and to be frank most did not know the bike so I was not happy with their ability to make these units work correctly.
I contacted Zip-Ty racing via e-mails and after several exchanges I elected to send the units to them for the work. Now understand I live a long way from them and it took awhile, but the cost and the results were well worth the wait. The reworked suspension works great! Now the bike has great traction, corner control, high speed stability as well as working great on jumps. It is like night and day between the OEM and the reworked units in the way they work. The suspension now works correctly and it makes the bike seem like a totally different unit.

This put the fun back in the bike.

I love the results!

If you need your suspension done, this is the place!

Thank you Zip-TY racing for being there for me!

I second that. Great suspension service from those guys. As you said, it transformed my bikes as well.
 
Can they re-valve mine for an old, slow fat guy? I'd like something plush but can still take a moderate hit from time to time.
