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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can I borrow your big (IMS) 4t gas tank?

I'm doing everything I can to join the "Trip to the Tip" between Christmas and New Years. Of the many things that need to be done to my bike ('09 TE310) one of them is figuring out how to stretch the gas tank.

I have virtually no need for a big tank on a normal basis, so buying an IMS tank for this one event is not a luxury I can afford.

Is there one of the Cafe Husky faithful who could loan me your big tank for this ride thru Baja?

I'd need it the week before Christmas, and unfortunately, I couldn't ship it back to you until on or after Jan 8th.

Pretty please with Baja silt on top??? :notworthy:
 
...Or what they did on the baja trip I went on was to strap bleach bottles full of gas to the waist/backpack.

Sounds like a bigger tank would be a nicer solution though.
 
Even with big tank will still have to carry fuel in many long sections. Main thing in Baja is you never know what to expect. Later george
 
I have a 4gal Clarke tank you can use. I switched over to the IMS so I could use the stock tank shrouds. Works perfectly, you'll just need to supply a petcock and vent tube for the cap.

I'm riding in Baja with you so let me know what you want to do. Thanks.

It will not fit his '09 Husky.

Ah, didn't notice the flavor bike. Sorry.

FWIW, I'm hooking up this setup below (not my bike)

The fuel bottle holder straps are from Cabella's, called Quick Fists.
