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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thanks Uptite!

Some friends and I took a foray to eastern Ohio yesterday and had a great time. It was pretty dry in the area we were riding in. The terrain is re-claimed strip mine land with alot of nasty wash outs and heavily eroded hills. While clawing my way up a ravine I managed to high center the bike on a small boulder. Only when I got home did I realize how bad it could have been.

Where the skidplate took that hit would have ended my day for sure and left me stranded in the boonies 60mi from home. There is not a single mark on the engine case, Uptite did it's job!
Big thanks to George and crew for saving my butt and wallet!:cheers:
 
As a 300+ pound rider, who rides in lots of rocky terrain, I've done a lot of damage to mine. One dent was about the size of a third of a volleyball dead center between the frame rails. George had to put the thing in his press to straighten it out. Good as new. My motor would have been wasted without that thing. When I look at the other options out there, they all seem inadequate. Thanks George.
 
I ride in the PA coal regions a lot with my WR 300. I installed an Uptite skide plate that wraps under the pipe. When the rocks and coal chunks hit it, it sounds like a church bell and serves as a great reminder that it's doing its job!

Sweet things for sure! Do not leave home without one EVER! Mine has had some mashing to it, but not like that.
 
Mine has also saved several trips from being ruined. Bar end protectors and the skid plate are both essential when you get off the tar...
 
Without Georges bashplate and Pauls HDB hand guards my bike wouldn't have survived my last big outing.......

Thanks guys, good protection allows the 610 to live up to it's potential!
