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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Aftermarket radiators for 2010 TC 250

I purchased some "Chinese" radiators through Mylers in Utah. They may be these same units. Mylers had to perform some mods to make them fit my 07 TE 510. This involved welding in some 90 degree fittings to replace the straight fittings. When I recieved them I had to tweak a couple of the fittings just a little to miss the exhaust header. I had to also bend the little equalizer lines to miss the top frame tube. ALSO...the radiators I recieved were a little taller than stock which allowed the bottom radiator tank to sit on the exhaust header and this required some creative filing on the front mounting holes.

I also have the OFG guards. The new radiators were one tube thicker so the guards were not wide enough. I dissassembled the guards and installed some 3/16" nylon spacers on each side of the aluminum tubes that hold the guards together along with some longer allen bolts.
Took a while but am really pleased that these have more cooling area! Mylers was great to deal with!

Wow, that was a lot of work to make something kind of fit with tight tolerances, especially by the exhaust.

Took all day! Lining up the rear mounting hole put the radiators in the proper position. That revealed that the front holes needed to be moved down and closer to the fins. I'm happy to have the extra row as well as a thicker radiator. The bike used to just overheat to the point that the water would blow past the cap into the overflow tank. NOT ANYMORE! The new radiators are now floating on their rubber grommets inside the OFG guards. The original owner had the original radiators squeezed into the guards so tight that I'm sure that's why the original radiator failed near one of the mounting points.
BTW...Mylers did a nice job of welding the fatigue crack on the old radiator so I have that pair as spares.
 
Well, which one of us is going to be the sucker?

Radiator guards are indeed an excellent investment although I can't help but wonder what would have happened to this one if he would have had a quality guard on it.

I biffed my left radiator on my last ride. I straighten it with some bar clamps and blocks of wood. I don't know it it will hold and I was thinking of trying those radiators for Mylers, I had no idea they where from china. They are cheap enought although, I think he wants $360 for a set. I have Motorsportz guards, I wonder if they would still fit?
 
Yes, those are the same radiators I ran all last year and they were GREAT! I contacted the company asking if they would be willing to make TC radiators and they said sure, as long as I would ship them a set of stock radiators to make templates off of. I did just that, sent them OEM ones, and about 2 months later I had the OEM ones back and 2 new sets of these. They worked absolutely flawlessly without ever any type of leakes and seemed pretty damn strong (I tended to be one the ground more last year than upright it seemed :) ). Anyway, just thought I would chime in and let you know they are worth the money......and they look sweet too!

* I combined these radiators (which hold a bit more coolant too...not much but a little bit) with Zip-Ty coolant and high-temp hoses which led to NEVER once having any type of over-heating issues.
 
I got mine today and they are very nice. Look as good as the Fluidyne units I've had. And I think they should fit on the OFG braces. May require moving the cross bars a little, but should fit in there.
