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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Guts Racing seat- '06 TE610

Howdy all. The previous owner of my bike had shaved about 1" off of the seat and it was AWFUL. Only about 1.5" of seat foam left, and my 210 lb arse was immediately on the plastic pan. I just couldn't stomach the 4 month wait for Renazco (his seats ARE the best- had one on my SM610), and didn't want to be without my seat for 2 weeks for the other options. Ordered the Guts standard height soft foam and comp cover (TT can order them for a discount) and it arrived in 1 day! Took some patience to get it perfect (about 2.5 hours total) but it's definitely doable for any D.I.Y.'er. Fit and finish is great- maybe better than stock. The soft foam is slightly firmer than stock, but seems to be much higher quality and distributes my weight more evenly. Not Renazco comfort, but about 3/4 of the way there and miles better than stock for $125 to my door.

My 610 also has a "Guts" seat. Was installed by the original owner so I've never known what the stock seat felt like. I have to say after seeing your Guts seat I'm jealous...I want one like that. Mine makes an already tall bike even taller which doesn't fair well on the trail when you've got to plant your foot down to avoid going down. So there's another item on my "to do" list. Thanks for the pic. Jerry :thumbsup:
