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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What really pisses me off is I think this happened when I was washing my bike in my backyard and it fell off the stand onto the lawn! Hopefully I can get somebody to weld it up before the weekend.

I wouldn't even mess with having someone weld that same piece on. Start with new thicker stock alum and have that put on. I've had 2 of my husky's redone like this and they can now be tossed about without worrying about those weak mounts.
 
I'm gonna drop the subframe off tomorrow. I'll see what the guy says about using something besides the stock piece; thanks for the tip!
 
Yes indeed, We have repaired those tabs too many times. LOL
We even broke the rear brake master cylinder tabs off on two of our bikes. Keep an eye on those too.
 
Any decent shop ought to be able to weld it back on and put a little gusset or two on the backside, that should be plenty.

Mine hasn't broken (yet), but I will probably pull it off this winter and weld a couple gussets on.

Not a huge deal IMO, you want a light bike that you can smash into stuff and this sort of thing happens.
 
When mine broke I just replaced it with a 1/8" piece of strap steel. Drilled 2 holes, attached it and haven't touched it for years.
