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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ive got a wr seat which someone has butchered with a hot knife to lower the seat:thumbsdown:
has anyone successfully added a piece of foam to the middle of the seat
without having to cover the whole of the seat with new foam
thanks
 
I had the same issue on my old CRF250 that had a lowered seat. I went and bought some of that 3M adhesive and some scrap foam. Then glued it on the seat where I thought it needed some padding. Good thing is that now you can choose your foam density and the shape for your style and comfort. Then finally get a knife and some sand paper to smooth is out and staple the cover back on. Really isn't hard at all, just takes a couple hours and you get a custom cushion.

Thanks - thats what i used -kinda worked ok
hard to get the shape and lines neat like the oem seat
a little bumpy - may have to put a thin layer of foam over it

I used some sandpaper after carving and it worked great. I don't recall but maybe 100 grit.
 
I ended up having to put a thin layer of foam over the new cut foam but seat is actually more comfortable than original now I think. Probably better quality foam.
Had to get an upholsterer to put cover back on as I wasted time buying a stapler that wouldnt staple the hard plastic seat and also very tight gap to staple.
Overall happy with result and way better than old lowered seat
