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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My '04 TE had the handlebar mounted decompressor which was ugly and vulnerable to damage, so it wasn't a great surprise or disappointment when I broke it. I was about to order some bits from 7602 Racing anyway so I took the opportunity to buy their clutch master cylinder cap / decomp mount. I also ordered a decomp lever from venhill (a U.K. based Magura supplier as well as a useful source of hard to find cables and whatnot). The stock decomp cable fitted like a champ after a little rerouting and everything buttoned up in a few minutes...

'Course, a Magura master cylinder cover off a later bike would have done the job, but the 7602 item places the decomp lever lower so it's easy to operate the clutch and decomp at the same time. Decomps aren't essential on a 'leccy start bike but it's a nice safety blanket in case I flame out and lock up while descending one of the slate cliffs that are so common round here, or even if I ever needed to bump-start the bike.

This little upgrade has made the decomp much more practical and robust. :cheers:
