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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not only does the IMS tank not fit, the rad shrouds are different from every other 08/09 bike as well.
 
Just the uppers as far as I can tell. I didnt look that close at the lowers to be honest.

The 125 uppers are a lot smaller than a TE rad shroud. They dont look any different until you try to put one on and then you realize the difference is quite large.

That really sucks as I don't see anyone lining up to make'em.

I bet your right. Husky needs to support this as they sell a lot of them in Europe.
 
It makes sense that the frame would be shrunk down for the 125. I had to modify my OFG rad braces to get steering clearence, while a friend was telling me no problem on his '08 TE450. Theres not enough steering stem tube above the top tube or clearence on stock tank to use a clamp on steering damper post. Our little baby is a new and different animal from '08-'09 4 stroke frame. I had a brain flash that maybe the next generation TC/TE250 (or maybe TXC250 for NA Market) has the same frame, tank and body work. I was hoping to see 1.8 gal for fuel capacity like the CR/WR125, but spec says 1.9 gal. If the new 250 shares components with the 125, well be good, if not Husky Sport may be able to help, as WR125 is popular in Europe.
 
My guess for the small tanks these days is the Euro Enduro rules make a gas stop mandatory every 50kms (35miles) max.

When we ran the CDN WEC Round the riders all expected a "gas available" every 25-30kms as that is what they were used to at home.
