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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Infrared pictures of bike, engine, exhaust, etc.

No real value to these pictures, but they look kind of cool. The guys at work got a new toy, err tool. FLIR i50 handheld forward looking infrared imager.

I took a few pics before ride, bike just warming up and post ride...the imager maxs at 680F, the exhaust header temp hit that in a minute or so after start.

Wow, amazing isn't it. Now we finally have confirmation that the exhaust components are the hottest parts of the bike.:D


Just kidding around, actually they are pretty cool pics.:thumbsup:
 
That is pretty nice! I noticed you can set the temp range, 2 questions

why are the pics so small and
can that be used on biological creatures?
 
The pics are rather small, that's the size it creates. Yes, of course, it works on biologics. Take it on a night out and see who's 'hot'! :)

It's used at the office to identify overloaded circuits or breakers that are micro arcing and need to be replaced.

I did shoot both rads, but didn't copy the image before I returned the device. Both read about 180 or so, but more importantly were nearly the same temp showing the Y does it's job by evenly distributing the flow. Would be interested to see how the T does...but not enough to switch back on my bike.
 
How much $ for that device? Is it something you may consider bringing to a camp out?

It might be a fun thing to have :)

Um, probably not, it's $6,000USD and in high demand, supply cannot keep up apparently.

FLIR has some less expensive models, ~$2,000USD but I don't know what one gives up in features...

Do you ever use it on your boss to find out what mood they are in? :D
