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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Those forks look great! I ran the TTX cartridges and shock on my RMZ450 and thought it was amazing too, set my sag and didn't even touch the clickers. Do the RFX forks work any better than the cartridges alone would?

The TTX inserts are nice and the dampening from them is great. However the whole RFX Fork kit is da bomb. My personal experience is I put TTX inserts into WP's on one of my KTM's a while back and definitely liked them so when it came time to do forks on my G450X I opted for a fork clamp that would allow me to run WP's with TTX inserts. They were nice and definitely better then the Zokes, however when it came time to puting WP's on the HP2 Enduro I decided to spring for Ohlins RFX fork kits (the whole Ohlins fork with TTX inserts) for the G450X and put the WP/TTX's on the HP2, the difference was nothing short of amazing. The WP's had all the best seals and bushings and pretty much the same TTX insert tuning, but the RFX forks just made everything super plush! I could hit the biggest faced obstacles at speed or soak up trail trash with the same clicker setting, it really was night and day difference. I recently took my first ride in over 7 months from an injury with my tried and tested G450X/Ohlins vs my '13 TXC310R with Ohlins rear and riding over the same trails was an eye openner. I had been riding my '12 TXC with these same custom tuned KYB forks and thought I was getting close but coming back into the fold with a fresh outlook really made it obvious there was only one way I am going to be satisfied knowing that the Ohlins RFX forks are going to be the finishing touch to make an awesome bike just phenomenal.

In short the Ohlins RFX fork kits are just total WORKS level suspension, there's nothing missing on them unlike WP or KYB's where the factory riders are riding stuff you pretty much can't buy. Not only are the inner and outer friction surfaces treated for anti-stiction, the shape of the tubes are essentially tuned for appropriate amounts of flex in the key places on top of the fork clamps/feet being anodized billet (not cast) and a bunch of other little tricks just adds up to the best forks I've ever ridden on. On top of that they have made updates to the '13 RFX fork series from '11 which is what I have on my G450X and I thought that was nirvana,....I'm a bit excited specially after spending the past two days at my buddy's property getting arm pump just trail riding.
