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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hmf exhaust pipe review

hey guys, I figured id let you know my thoughts on hmf's performance pipe. bought off ebay for 300.40 Canadian, shipped.

it was for a 2008 te 610 but I put it on my 2007.


I got the pipe today and I installed it in about 5 minutes, it fits great. I weighed the hmf pipe in at 5.8 lbs and the stocker in at 8.6 lbs. I thought the quality of the pipe was very good, all the welds were nice, nothing splotchy, it was very even. I got mine powder coated black which came with chromed stainless end pieces. not a huge fan of chrome but what ever it will get dirty soon.

I went for a ride and I did notice on the butt dyno an increase over the entire power band. I have stock jetting, and there is definitely room for improvement still with some jetting mods.

as for the noise, I have ridden lots of motocross bikes, so to me it wasn't to bad. it is louder, deeper and throatier sounding. at idle and cruising its not bad, but accelerating is when it gets noisy, which just put a smile on my face.


all and all I think it was worth the 300 bucks. the black looks cool, sounds better, lighter, and its shorter then the stocker but has the same girth.

I also ordered the hmf muffler, got it today, I ordered a black one too but they sent me a brushed one, I decided to keep it, so they refunded me $30, cost me $245.45 total, it is a good looking muffler, built right here in the USA. I didn't think it sounded any louder than the stock muff, but I didn't get to ride it yet.

I thought your thread title had a typo until I opened your first photo. Looks nice and glad you're happy with it but wondering why they decided to sorta rip off the FMF name. Kinda confuses things some.

I have always wondered why they decided to call them selves hmf, because I always thought they were a copy of fmf , but as it turns out they aren't and they make a nice product.
