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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08te510 Radiator Fan Issue

Guys, noticed a couple of rides ago that the plastic frame on the spal fan had failed. safety wired it back and added some exoxy/stuff in an attempt to hold it together . I was confident that the repair would hold sufficiently. Well after last weekend's ride it failed again. I think the best thing to do is just replace it. What / where can I source a factory replacement? Thanks in advance!

They all do it, a replacement will fail also. I took hose clamps and split/cut them through the holes lengthwise to get small pieces of steel that I could bend, shaped them to fit one on each side of the arm and epoxied them in place, even the non broken ones, probably 4,000 miles ago and still holding.

Obviously you cant see the metal in the epoxy but the split hose clamp bent in the shape of the arm is epoxied in there. I put some epoxy on the each side of the arm then pressed the hose clamp metal into it then added more epoxy, not real pretty but functional.
