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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 Husky te250 "Low"

AA Class
I know they were available in the U.S. and came with a seat height roughly 2" lower than a standard te250.. Does anyone know what fork springs Husky used on these bikes? Or were the springs just cut shorter? Anybody have a part number or an alternative source for similar springs? I had my 2013 te310r lowered by the dealer when I bought it (he cut the springs) and the forks seem stiff as heck. Just wondered if the factory used different springs to lower the front ends. Anybody have some Te250 Low springs (if there are such things) laying around that they'd want to part with? Opinions?

Yes, if you cut the springs, the spring rate feels stiffer. You will need to measure your spring length and then find somebody who can find the right weight in the right length for your forks. I would suggest somebody like Racetech or another reputable suspension specialist.
 
Appreciate the reply, but I'm still curious how Husky built the low models.Did they just cut the springs or is there a part Number for the actual shorter springs? Anybody know the history?
