My 630, more recently...
Great wheel / tire set . Would you share the make of the wheels , tires and the size. The rear tire does look wider than my stock tire. As much info as you can pass on would be great ! Thanks !

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I have seen this bike ridden as hard as a track bike with the front wheel seldom on the ground for about 12K miles now and other than valves, nothing major at all

Ducati bikes have a service light on them that comes on when valve service is due. The light can only be reset by a dealer.
From the reading I've done, most Ducati owners just take their bikes in for service when the valves are due. That gets expensive.
Valve checks are quite a bit more complex than a Husky.
Accessories cost an arm and a leg. Have you priced exhaust systems for a Ducati? I thought my Leo system was steep; a Ducati system is triple the cost.
I love the Hyper; it's an awesome bike. But, I'm leaning more toward something less labor/money intensive, like a Triumph Speed Triple or Honda CB1000R if I get another street bike.

Good points on parts and why I usually buy my bikes used (like my 630) and loaded up already by the previous owner - We all know full retail does not transfer on costs to the sale of a used scoot - If that were the case, my 630 would have been over $8K

I paid full MSRP for my 630. Mine is well over the $11,000 range.
Every time I throw a leg over it, the thoughts of what I have into it disappear.
If you're talking about the termi, you have to take into consideration it comes with a new ecu as well. I know you're going to say "race mode on the husky" but they sell the termi under the guise it's been tuned specifically for the bike/ exhaust combo. Still not saying it's worth it, but...

Here's mine...Most recently I've upgraded the footpegs to the Husky pegs shown in their Special Parts Catalog and I also added mini LED indicators (not shown in pic). Next will be wave rotors.
