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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

Haha well that pointy one is well-knackered. I still have a birdman beak on the 449 anyway :)
The adapter is made by Flatland Racing. Got it from Slavens. Mr Slavens hinself emailed me when I ordered it and was like "I dont think this will fit your Husqvarna. Do you still want me to send it?" Hahaha. Good guy right there!
It requires a slight mod. Had to drill a center hole so it mounts by 3 bolt rather than 4 but its very sturdy. The bracket is thick! Drilled and tapped a hole in the middle of the lower triple and then drilled the 3rd hole as described in the Flatland bracket. Countersunk the drilled hole and boom...some loctite and shes on there nice and solid. Im waitin on Mr Postman to bring me the 2014 SXF number plate. The kit also gives you an adapter piece for the number plate to mount to the top triple.
This kit is designed for earlier model KTMs to run the late model SXF fender and number plate or headlight-couple different kits for each application. image.jpg image.jpg
 
Not sure if I posted these up before but some simple mods I did to the 300 when I first bought it.
Elbow from a KTM (yes lol) installed in the stator cover with a hose running up to the airbox. Silicone sealed the bottom rectangular vent on the cover as well. image.jpg
Always got extra chain links laying around. Theyre great for anchor points for safety wire.

master link bracket is brilliant. Love simple solutions like that. Got a nice big box of leftover stuff for those types of things. Made a cool pipe hanger out of a handguard mount once. Fun.

Yes, IMS tank on my bike. I'm not sure if it fits the '13 bikes or not, would need input from the more knowledgeable folks around here.

Mine holds ~2.9 gal

IMO, the M59 is about the best "do all" tire out there. If you have a 59 on the front, you're about covered for whatever you run across.

Over the past 5 years, I've moved from the S-12 to M-12 to the Pirelli XMS and now the Bridgestone M59. The M59 is hands down the best tire I've ever run. It can do it all and it hold up longer than most. :thumbsup:
 
My first go at a DIY skidplate...cardboard mock up, cut, weld, paint...planned on using aluminum but wasn't able to source them. So had it made with a 1.3mm thick sheet metal that I had laying around...Maybe a second (aluminum) version will come up later on

Had a pic frame app save the multiple shots. Beats uploading 3 files :)
 
Awesome job! I would just suggest-from what ive seen on my skidplate, is that you countersink some holes and put flat headed bolts on the bottom so they dont catch on stuff and/or get broken or snapped off.

You're right! But I only had these or a philips head screw. The Phillips head is flush but I was worried about not heing able to tighten it enough. Will definitely look into flat headed bolts
 
Still like the pointy BMW fender better :p

Need to black out the white side panel part on the air box side. Look forward to seeing the stickers. You should put KTM all over it he he he.
