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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cheap fork seal cleaner and it's good for you!

Found both of my fork seals were leaking a little bit tonight. Started looking for something thin to wipe the dirt out and I noticed that the top of these tuna packets are very thin and strong. It's very stout foil for its size. You can cut the very top of the package off and not even open it up. image.jpg
I know the wipers still on, but you get the idea.
 
A piece of tape measure tape about 6 inches long trimmed with tin cutters to resemble your little finger nail and scrubbed with steel wool to remove the paint and burrs will never wear out- works great- has the curve built right in.
 
I trim the plastic off the front cover of office presentations to about 1 inch wide and 6 long. Do a circumference of the leg (with the wiper down) bounce the fork several times and repeat the process about 3 times. Then do the wiper.
Some guys cut a piece of sponge that will fit into the void above the wiper and remove after several rides
 
Ive always used a piece of 35mm film. Now everyone's gone digital, I was trying to find some old film the other day for a piece. Finally scrounged up an old roll from the back of my junk drawer.
 
It was actually a new roll. I don't have a 35mm camera anymore so it didn't bother me to pull a strip out and cut it off.

Jesus cleans mine...

A riding buddy found a crate full of kids movies made for vacation bible school from the 60's and 70's on Super 8. He cut up sections and we probably have enough to supply every dirt rider with inverted forks in the world!

I run removable Seal Savers all year on all of my bikes and have zero issues, but will run the film up in the seals a couple times a year to make sure any little grit is cleaned out. Last time I had my halogen overhead lamp on and noticed Jesus healing somebody - maybe my fork seals...who knows!
