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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Earth-X Battery Connectors - FYI

While I have been on my bolts/anchors molded into Husky gas tanks that corrode rant, I noticed our Earth-X batteries have the same molded connector.....shot some dielectric grease into the threaded hole and replaced the leads. Can't Hurt? I'd hate to ruin a battery by having the connectors corrode tight.

The Earth-X are 4 years old now in the Huskies - still spin the 310 and 511 like new. I do charge them over the winter on a Battery Tender Lithium trickle charger every month or so.

I will replace the original lead/acid batteries in our KTM 690's when they die with Earth-X. I'm satisfied with the Earth-X - Thank you Tinken for turning me on to them - wherever you are......
 
The battery is dead on my Harley. I'm kind of thinking of springing for the Earth X. At $340 it's a steep price, but Harley wants $170 for one, and the Yuasa that barely lasted a year that's in it now (on a battery tender when not ridden) was $125. So it's starting to look pretty good.
