You need to get some husky decals for the tank so people don't say nice KLR

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Better think about reinforcing your subframe if you haven't already. With your setup you have the potential to overload it.

Seat Concepts foam and cover.
Went with all carbon fiber since it's an SMS and I want to be able to slide around.
That is my project for this weekend. Just picked up my air stapler last night. I'm also putting one of their seats on my XR and replacing the seat cover on another dirt bike as well. My justification for buying yet another new tool.

If you got the $25 one from Harbor Freight, take the pressure down a bit. I started at 95 and it was a bit overkill :P

Ha! No kidding, the first shot I put in when right through the cover material and almost through the plastic seat pan.

latest 2 mods are almost free...... High tensile bolts on footpegs after shearing the standard bolts on both sides.... a must fix for anyone who hits the trials seriously! Second was moving the bard up a few more degrees - makes the front end way more stable on the sand. Both cheap fixes, but if you lose your pegs on a downhill dropoff like I did, you will appreciate the upgrades!!!

Hi Chief! What size are those Pelican bags? 1520 or 1550? Could need some advice on your choice, thinking about getting the same setup. You happy with'em? Any reinforcement done on the subframe?

I ordered the TCI racks without the black Pelican 1520s, and purchased the orange Pelican 1520 cases to increase visibility, plus I happen to like the orange/white combination (like my first true touring bike's color scheme, a 1972 Suzuki T500). My dealer, Bill's Husky, in Salem, OR, ( billshusky.com/ )beefed the subframe for me by welding thick aluminum plates in the rear triangular area.
I plan on stress testing in June by riding the worst continuously travelled gravel roads in America, northwest North Dakota.

Well I just went through this whole thread from the first post and my wallet is much lighter now! Thanks for that everyone! Haha just kidding. Lots of good ideas on here. Ordered a JD tuner and have the billet rad guards and hyde bash plate on my wish list. Need to get a 14t front sprocket soon too. I think that will be the best mod so far for me.
Keep,up the great pictures.
