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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Press release and photo... I notice an unusual skid plate on Cory's 310. Anyone know what it is... and Congratulations on the podium finish Cory ****************************************
2013-EX-Sacramento-Graffunder-Blazusiak-Ruiz.jpg

Corona, CA - June 10, 2013 - Factory Husqvarna's Cory Graffunder hit the road for round two of the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series with one thing on his mind - podium. After starting the season with a modest seventh-place finish at the opening round, Graffunder was determined to improve his results, and he was able to do just that with a third-place finish, on the podium, at the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.

The battle for third in the main event turned out to be an intense one. Graffunder had his hands full getting around his former teammate, Kyle Redmond, who held third for much of the main. Cory then had the challenge of fending off a hard charging Taddy Blazusiak for the final podium position. Graffunder proved to be unstoppable on his factory Husqvarna TXC310R, and would not be pressured into making any mistakes.

"I felt great all night and I'm thrilled to get on the podium," Graffunder said. "I knew I had the speed to be up here with these guys, and it finally all came together. My Husqvarna TXC310R is running great and I'm really pumped to get it on the podium."

Cory now looks forward to another international X Games EnduroX event - this time in Munich, Germany - where he hopes to capture another X Games medal.

National EnduroHusqvarna riders were also in action at the Loose Moose National Enduro in Marquette, Michigan, where Craig DeLong and JD Friebel topped the podium in the A 250 and A Open classes, respectively. DeLong's win was made sweeter by cracking into the top-ten by the day's end.
 
I have a Hyde and it fits well, although I did replace all of the bolts with better hardware. The two bolts for the back were too short and made it irritating to mount. Had one on the old KTM too and it lasted the whole time I owned it and then I resold it to someone else. Quite durable.
 
Hydes are great, and the feel always seemed better than my alloy plate, maybe just because it was quieter. But remember if you really are a rock scraper you will need to replace them at somewhat regular intervals. I also drilled mine for air flow and water dispersion.
 
Hyde/ ZipTy racing Red Plastic (with some holes drilled in it) ?
ZipTy Racing 2011 TE310

So this thread is oldish but I am looking to pick up a Hyde skid plate for my 2012 TE310. What model plate is this one in the picture? Hydes website is screwy and lists the TE310 under a couple models so picking the right one is tricky. Does anyone else sell these? Zipty?
