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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

yeah the single was pretty late in the game . not sure if it ever did much . interesting ( besides the 3 throttles) is the spark plug each side near the exhaust port . and no head gasket . barrel and head one piece

i imagine its nearly impossible to attach 2 barrels to a shared crank if they were not part of the crank case .

That's two larger intake valves with four exhausts. Chee is all about the flow in life.
That head has a lot of chee I like it.

With the advancement in machining today the designs from the engineers are limitless.
You think it these machines can manufacture it.

For sure. And stunning how quick they can take what was 10 years ago super complex shapes and whip them out like nothing and already know structurally how they perform. Crazy. I was in a bike shop the other day and Yamaha has taken casting to a new level. Even "budget bikes" like the FZ-09 has all these super complex and organic looking parts from the frame to the brackets. I read about them advancing modern casting techniques and wow does it show. 150 hp 300 pound bikes are normal these days. What was high tech 3 years ago is last weeks news now. It really is amazing.
