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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kickstand Too Long (or bike to short)

I had my 2010 TE310 suspension tuned and lowered one inch. Best thing I ever did to the bike. But now the kickstand is even more useless. The bike is upright and teetering when the stand is down. Could a machine shop cut out an inch and put it back together? Or cut off the foot and make a new one? Any other solutions? Need input from you welder types. Thanks.
 
Check out a post i had a month or two ago, have a "talented welder" take out a inch and reweld it, works perfect!! and you keep the original foot :D I love mine lowered as well!
 
Is one inch enough to remove? I think bike was lowered one inch but don't know how to accurately measure. Was the stand too long when it was new?
 
I had the same issue when I put on supermoto wheels, thought about various options but in the end just filed away the stop point on the stand mount so the stand extends a little further forward, took about 5 minutes and seems to work ok.
 
I'm with OHR on the foot. If you're gonna cut it off anyway you might as well put a foot on it that willl actually hold the thing up out in the woods. I don't trust mine at all after watching it dump over twice. I usuall have to find a tree to prop it against (unless there's a nice flat rock nearby.
