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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do you have the link to the original thread. As im interested in putting grease nipples in the lower shock bushes on both of my bikes.

Troy Deck, below is a copy of another post. So am I allowed to call myself a genius?

I machined out those annoying shoulders in the linkage so in future if needed I can press the bearings straight out. I didn't do it on the forked arm of the linkage as it would leave only 2mm of material.

Fitted grease nipples slightly different from Picklito, and also in the forked arm.

Used the HK2016-AS1 bearing in the lower fork.

I didn't put grease nipples on the swing arm because I couldn't find a decent spot to access them or to prevent them breaking during use. Instead I butted up the 2 bearings together then added a seal to the outer side of both outside bearings. A bit of extra insurance against those small seals on the needle bearings.
