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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Acerbis Auxiliary Fuel Tank????

Hi all,

Has anyone tried the Acerbis auxiliary fuel tank on their bike? It mounts on the forks where the headlamp cowl would normally sit, they do a 3 or 5 litre, I'm interested in the 3 litre so I can complete a 2 1/2 hour race without refuelling. Works through a syphon so it would empty the aux tank first which I think would take about 35 mins at race pace. My main concern is the first 30 mins with 3kgs of fuel effectively mounted to the bars, it's going to make the bike nose heavy but will it be that noticeable? Will it make the steering slow and unresponsive?
Any feedback good or bad would be helpfull.

The number plate tank has been around for a couple of decades. Yes the do work well and yes there will be some extra weight to get used to while riding. I tried the smaller tank back in the early 90's on a friends RM250n out in the desert. I could get used to the feel after a while, however in the desert the fast hits the front end took and the extra suspension travel that took place while braking steered me away from any future purchase.
