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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Even more fun......

great...now I did it. I finally finished putting together one fork and set about installing the comp adjuster on the other. Just as I'm threading the shim stack into the adjuster I heard a muted crack. You guessed it. The screw snapped**************************************** DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!! I was using a friggin torque wrench for Gods' sake. So I call Hall's to get a replacement. (Now it gets even better) $110 and I won't see it for a MONTH****************************************

If anyone has a spare by some otherworldly stroke of luck, please let me know.
 
Does it have to be their screw? I think I read on the forum that this happened to someone else. I think this could be dangerous.
 
I am sure you could replace it with a metric bolt from a local nut and bolt shop. If not available local, measure it and order it some where or even get a machinist to make one for you. I hate to see anyone stuck for a measly bolt. Hell, get me the measurements and I may have one on hand that I could send you!
 
Thanks for the offer, but it's a banjo bolt of sorts. It threads through the shim stack into the adjusting valve so it serves as a fluid channel for the valve. I got in touch with David at Fastbikes Inc, and he has the parts I need. Now it's just a matter of deciding whether I want to ship the forks out to him and get them revalved, or just attain the parts to fix it for now.
