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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone is using a pleated gripper seat cover on their 449/511s?

I've ridden a few bikes with stepped seats but they don't feel right to me.

Stock seat cover isn't very good at keeping my butt glued when giving it gas :)

I have a seat concepts seat/cover. They call it CF/gripper material. It's almost sticky, I have to lift my but to move around. Sometimes I don't like the high grip of it, but I sure like the shape and foam......way more comfortable :thumbsup:

I got a gripper seat cover with my Ringmaster Graphics sticker kit, yet to install as yet.

Re staying on your ride under power, can highly recommend stegz pegs, aussie owned and operated - however I only have them on my TE not my SMR.
 
See in SM you sit down most of the time. So the Stegz won't really be used.

I have two plain grippers from RingMaster that I might get trimmed into one pleated gripper.

I agree, I only have fitted on the TE where I found I needed aftermarket help to grip the bike more as I found the extended frame rails near the foot pegs an issue riding off road. Stegz pegz made a huge difference and hoping gripper seat will too once installed.

SMR I dont have any issues, coming from a sportsbike background Im use to gripping with my knees. However first track day Friday in full leathers so will see how she goes since the conversion from road to race. I have been wondering as not as much to grip with knees and no rearsets so should be interesting.
