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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Broken Kickstand Spring Pin

Hello,

I just recently joined this group to see if anyone can help with my problem. Flipped my kickstand up on my 2012 TE511 and the head of the pin which holds the kickstand spring broke off. It looks like all associated pieces for this are welded on. Is there and after market kickstand I can get that would not need this pin, or is my only option to break out the buzz box?


Thank you.

I don't have a pic, but on my WR there is a bolt with nuts on either side of the kickstand bracket securing it in place; the head of the bolt acts like head of the pin you are missing.
 
Had this happen on a different model. I drilled a hole directly into the centre of the stub, then tapped about an M6 or M8 hole for a bolt. Using a SS bolt nuts and washers you can make it solid and look tidy.

Sorry it took so long for me to post this but I fixed the problem with duggoey advice. Here is the finished result, I think it looks good. Went with the m6 bolt.
