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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Radiator Guards with replacement radiators

Hey, I've been using the guards since new and I still managed to bust a radiator last weekend. The guard is still in great shape, no sign of damage, so the core just managed to break a weld or something.

Anyway, there are 3 radiators listed in the Husky parts catalog for the 2012 WR 300, Alexon (those are what were on mine stock), KTM, and TOYO. Their are also cheap options available on ebay, PGI I think was the brand on those.

So, my question is, will any of these options work with the guards, or should I make sure I replace the busted one with the exact replacement?

Thanks.
 
I believe all the factory listed ones will work just fine. I would stay away from the alexons since they have already failed you once.
 
Just my impression of the chinese rads on Ebay. I bought a pair for my 08 WR250f. They fit perfect and are about 30% thicker. Welds look beefy and so do the radiators. I have had zero problems with them and at $85 shipped a great deal!
 
Thanks guys. I didn't want to risk it not fitting, so I had my dealer go ahead and order the same thing I had (alexon).
