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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc New 125 guards

I bought the skidplate for 60 bucks, I haven't fitted it yet, but just lining it up it looks great, the welds are pretty crappy though. I'll post a few pics when I get it on.
 
dirtriderwjc2000 here posted about those. He has them and posted pix...

Two observations from a fabricators point of view...

- The braces are greatly compromised by the stamped out name down the side. This will make them much weaker to side impacts which is a majority of rad issues. Very thin and none structural (not formed or mad into an angle) rear supports. Wonder it you can still get the louvers on?

- the welds do not look good as noted.

BTW, that price seems to be for three items which is not bad.
 
I was wondering how good they look up close. It's nice to see more options anyway.

Last I looked the only skid plate that worked without modifications was the CRD and I could not find one anywhere in the states. I had to go with a FBF glide plate. Surfer, let us know if this one bolts right up.

If I get rad guards I will go with OFG if I want full air flow or Motorsports if I want full coverage. They both look like great quality products. I go down less then once a year on average though so I have been doing without so far.

I don't recall our skid plate needing any modification to fit up?

I'm not sure that was an option last I looked, as in about 2 years ago when I bought my bike. Maybe it was but I started a thread on TT and was told the CRD worked but eveyone else was modifying other plates.

I'm glad there is now a high quality and local alternative. Now if only my wife would get reemployed I could get a 09 and order a bunch of cool stuff for it.
 
The plate bolts right up, not without a little frustration though. The weak link is the pipe mount(not weak as in structurally) the vibration mounts don't fit to well leaving the pipe side of the mount with not much to hold to. I plan on making a fitment to secure the pipe better.
Overall for the price I paid I'm pleased...it looks good on the bike and offers more protection than the FBF glide plate I was running.

No I didnt, I already have the motosportz ones so there was no need. It appears that they fit well according to the other thread.
