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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st mudflap swingarm wear

what are y'all using to protect the swingarm from the little ridges on the mudflap? is there some kind of protective clear tape or something (of the consistency of fork decals or such) that is readily available? it need not be fancy or beautiful.
 
I used a 1/4" thick rubber strip and gorilla glue. It's still kicking too.

Plus I ground the ridges off with a dremmel bit.
 
Actually, once they rub two little spots in the swingarm and the flat surface starts touching they pretty much stop wearing the arm.
 
I ground the ribs off and tried that without using a buffer, but it still ate into the swingarm:excuseme:
 
i put a square piece of neopren rubber, 5mm thick with glue on one side and attached it to the swingarm between the ribs. Works perfect.
 
The honda flap fits apparently and it has no grooves. I use self adhesive neoprene and others trim the ridges off.
 
I ground the ridges off. also cut a piece of large zip ty to the width of the mud flap and glued it in place where the wear marks would be.
 
great ideas. wow. i love this place. since Coffee is my hero, I went with clear packing tape and dremeled the ridges flat on the flap (also cuz i'm lazy and i had packing tape and a dremel already, lol).

Thanks for the help.
 
I checked my 2009 WR250 and it had wear marks after 1000kms :eek:
This thread had heaps of great ideas, i went with the grind down and
thick vinyl sticker method :thumbsup:
 
Heres some pics :thumbsup:
