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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My ex- 99 TE610 is back in my garage (by next week)

Hahaha I really do like the YEL fenders better now that I installed the WHT ones..... but for a while I will leave the WHT in place.
 
Very nice! I have an 86 510 and just bought an '07 610. Also had an '01 410 that your engine cases reminded me of. Very nice build! Forgive my ignorance, what is the mag cover with the water ports covering? Doesn't look like any cases I have (had)

That is the factory CH Racing magnesium airflow cover to keep the ignition cooler and for drying air. The windage from the spinning rotor/flywheel moves air in and out the 2 tubes (1 in 1 out) . You will spot those covers on the team race bikes from the period. The hoses simply are open behind the cylinder in that warm dry area under the carb.

I installed prefab 90 degree hoses like the race teams did. I even remember that Trolli told me to drill a decent sized hole in the bottom of the OEM cover to get moisture out, but with this CH Racing (Azzalin) set up it avoids that issue with these machines. If you look at Anders Ericksson's machines you will see this type cover on them. Also note I have put my hand and a piece of rag near the tube ends and the air really does move quite a bit more than I imagined. You can see the position of the tubes is in a cyclonic position . I did always wondered if the race bikes even had some additional "wings" mounted/welded to the flywheel.
