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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Battery ~test~ EverStart AGM ES5LBS

Yes, I have read on some threads here that the WalMart EverStarts are caca batteries, but decided to give one a try anyway. Will see how it performs over the coming days, weeks?..... And post about it.

My bike, a 2007 TE450 with all of 86 miles on it has been sitting in a shed out back for the last 5 years or so. Finally time to play with the beast, so replace the wasted OEM new Yuasa with the $34 Wally World special and see what happens.

Activated the battery by transferring the supplied sulphuric acid to the cells, capped the cells and charged the battery for about 2 hours with a midget Harley branded battery tender/charger image.jpg
Put the battery in place..... The third set of leads are for the battery tender...image.jpg

Started the engine right up, plenty of energy, we'll see if it lasts.
 
Just over 2 months and 100 hours/ 2,700 miles with this battery and multiple starts almost everyday. Lives on battery tender at home about every other day. Functioning flawlessly
