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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How I will build my own oil cooler for my TE511

I remembered in my Spring 2012 issue of Ride More journal.... that a guy modded a 449 for Dakar and had an oil cooler among numerous other fabrications-good enough engineering for Dakar it could probably handle your adventure riding... I looked up the info for you...

I'm not really looking for a Dakar setup . Something I can make myself if possible will save me some money. I have a radiator reservoir right in that area where that oil cooler/filter is.. When I am done with my bikes setup it will be a trail bike that could go the distance of a adventure bike ( my idea anyway ). No expensive ad ons , just do it yourself mods that work :) thank you for the link though !

Great post. I like that design.

"The oil bypass, lines and cooler increased capacity by 70% to a total of 1.7 liters."
 
the bc2dakar set up is with proven componets from major suppliers, and i would bet the weight is under 5 lbs. and no JB weld or amateur welds to boot.
