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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Les is more

Les and LT....

Another vote on the Les suspension fan club.

Les is the ONLY tuner that will touch my suspension, period.
Why?
He is a pro
He wrote the book on customer service. You aint happy, Les aint happy.
He has forgot more about suspension tuning that a lot of other higher place shops will ever know.
Responsive
and listens to what you say (so be honest when you fill out the suspension sheet)

He has done 5 of my bikes, nothing short of Magic Carpet when he is done.
He has done my Ohlins on smokers and my valve machines.
He has done stock OEMs on Yamaha and Honda...
:cheers:
He is about to do two more of my stable.....
My Ten Fins of Fury and my 08 TE-610

Case in point on what has been said about the importance of properly set up legs.

Les recently did my Honda CRF-270x, front and rear.
1. I have the correct spring rates front and rear.
2. told Les where and how I ride...basic stuff.
Bolted back on and ride her, two completely different places.

1. Goldendale MX/GP track. Sky jumps, tables, whoops etc... Few clicks here and there.......wow.....tracks straight soft in the chop and sucks up the sky shots without a flinch and nothing transferred to the wrists and shoulders....WOW OMG..... :thumbsup:
2. Reiter rocks..few clicks softer on Comp, few tighter on rebound...
slam dance in rock fields where you dont even see dirt. Roots, rolling rock and sharps...felt nothing just glide, attack with confidence. amazing stuff, felt like velcro on the trails.

No, Im not 18 anymore and if I raced pure MX like I used to, then I would be more sensitive to valving for MX vs Offroad. But, I like to do it all, race, play, MX, HS etc and the fact that my CRF now with just a few clicks either way makes me grin regardless, tells you the power of what is possible with todays suspension and importantly, trusting it to someone like Les that listens, wants you happy and knows to a nats ass what he is doing.

So, Les, clear off your bench, its time for magic on two more Husky's for me...pair of ITC Ohlins and its big 610 brother!

:D
