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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

VP makes the 30 year fuel for classic and collectable cars. I think it's just above 100 octane... A VP dealer was telling me about it. If you're going to use pump fuel just make sure you use it up in 90 days and that it has no ethanol and you'll be fine for most bikes so long as it is 93 octane or better. One thing that is beneficial besides the shelf life is that if you tune your engine to a race fuel like VP110 you will get more out of it especially if you mod the head for more compression and advance the timing a bit.

I use race fuel in every motorcycle, chainsaw, weed-eater, leaf blower that I own. I probably spend an extra $300 per year on the fuel but I'm never working on it because of a corroded up pilot jet or a leaking priming bulb or spongy "O" ring, when I could be riding. I often fix my neighbors yard equipment for a little extra cash and 90% of the time it's fuel related.... I use the extra bucks to by race fuel for my stuff. :cool:
 
It has been said plenty already but that thing is in amazingly good condition! I would consider to lubing it up and storing it for at least another decade! On the other hand, it would be great to ride now.

Brake fluid that old could have air/rust/dirt/water etc in it even from sitting. All of them would help the brake to not work. If you can try and back bleed, the little hand pumps are great for this if you can borrow one, even better if it has a reservior so you can see the carp that comes out of it.
