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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Footpegs, a performance part.

They sure can be. I have an 04 CR125 all decked out and with a WB165 kit. It is a great bike i keep working to make better. The footpegs were dull and floppy and I had some Fastway pegs i had run on another bike just sitting here so I mounted them up. I forgot how much control a good set of footpegs and deliver. I stand up a lot and steer with my feet a ton. the added grip and platform size really makes a difference in control. If you have never used big platform pegs and real grippy ones like the studded fastway ones you might want to try it. There is a performance advantage many might overlook. Just food for thought after riding with them and realizing once again how much more control you have when your feet are firmly planted.
 
Totally agree. Its where you're hooked on to the bike, just like a good set of bars/grips. And tires, where its all hooked to earth. Rest is details.
 
I have fairly small feet and when I tried Fastway's I found it difficult to tilt my foot forward and back. Pivot Pegz pretty much solve that problem. I let my last set get away when I sold the TE250....need to get a new set.
 
I keep the oem pegs (sacrificial/bendy for the most part), I go through quite alot of them. I always cut and sharpen the cleats, on the rounded safety end I mark and cut 3 more cleats in with the dremel tool. Yes pegs are one of the body connections to the machine, performance parts for sure, look how much focus all the top level pros put into footpegs, position, type etc.
