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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Skid plate in plastik is good for cross? ...or will become fast broken?

Just need a skid plate for protection. Is a plastik black one good enough for cross?

I bought one TC250 without as seller told he sold it because every time he was changing oil it took some time to crew it off.
In my idea possible because to drain the oil indeed there is not a lot of place to put your hands

Please any idea is welcome
 
Not sure how it is on your bike but mine is one screw. Doesn't get much more simple. Plastic ones should hold up well depending on what you're doing. One of the best plastic skid plates is made by TM design works.

Where are you from? What years the bike?
 
As I see it, plastic, nylon, polyethilene or carbon fiber are ok for cross: TMD, AXP, P3 ... make good skid plates for Husqvarna.
Aluminum better for enduro.
All easy to install.
 
Yep agree plastic ok for the track. Definately need alloy for serious ST gnarly stuff with rocks, roots logs etc.
 
I made an 10mm HDPE skid plate myself and it lasted ... 30min in the first ride :D, hit a rock and it cracked...

But I think that for cross it will be more than OK, ... but.. to be honest, why put a skid plate for motocross ? I always took my one off when I go to the track...

Now I'm not using any protection, I'm riding since February without one and so far so good, but I plan to get one aluminium plate if I manage to find one, not much variety for the husky over here...

Regards.
