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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Important Safety Tip - Anti-Seize

Kind of embarassed to tell this story.

We picked up a new TE310 for my wife yesterday.

I was pulling the double take mirrors off her Honda 230L to put on the new Husky and found I had screwed up.....stupid mistake.

I got one of the Ram mount attachments for the mirror out of the left handlebar of her old bike, with difficulty, but I broke off the bolt going into the master cylinder assembly on the right side. What a mistake on my part. I had not used any anti-seize on the bolt when I installed it and it corroded/self welded into the metal of the master cylinder/brake assembly. Steel versus aluminum/mag/pot metal.......

Since I did that install, a friend told me about Permatex anti-sieze Lubricant. Use it and live well! Would have saved my ass.

Don't repeat my mistake! Wife was not happy.............I hope Doubletake ships the replacements for her mirrors really fast! Hope I can figure out a way to get the broken bolt out of the Honda.......

Merry Christmas.

Dave
 
acf50 is a good choice and can be used on everything, including electrical connectors. it also makes the black case half's look new. its a penetrant and gets into many spots paste cant.
