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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Exhaust collar for pipe and silencer junction

The rubber collar/seal between the pipe and silencer has been leaking on my '08 CR125. I put zip-ties around it, but they didn't help much. I put a hose clamp and this was great. However, now the hose clamp eventually caused the rubber collar to split. Oops!

I recall seeing a billet collar with seals that clamp around this junction area. TM Designs makes a collar but they tend to be bike specific.

Here is a clamp-style collar that is more what I'm looking for:

Has anyone used one of these or something else on our Husky pipes?
 
I haven't. Matt you could go to a Home Depot or Lowes and look in the plumbing department and get a stainless steel NH coupling. Just use the stainless steel band, cut it down to fit, and install smaller stainless clamps. You are just making a smaller version than they sell for plumbing purposes. I may make one for mine this week as it leaks a little.
 
I go to the local auto parts store and buy a section of radiator hose that's the right diameter. Cut off a 2" section and put it on with hose clamps... NOT very tight. They don't have to be hardly tight at all to do the job, and that way they don't cut into the rubber for a very long time. If I need to replace... cut another 2" off the radiator hose. Typically, in the life of a bike, I buy one radiator hose and replace that thingy just a couple times and then the bike's gone, one way or another. And I keep 'em for a very long time.
 
got to bone yard. cut a hunk of heater hose, go home yank sliencer, clamp it on with spring clamps ya robbed from the heater core area.

or head to auto parts store and sniff around for scraps of heater hose, buy some spring clamps while yer there.
 
Im using Arrow full system and this problem occurs also. I use two ring clamps or whatever you call this ... so far no leaks for over a year.
