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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

AA Class
The wishbone link of the rear suspension linkage assembly, has a big gouge out of the side of the arm. It looks like the bolt may have been installed from the wrong side, and the bolt hit the side of the wishbone link arm? The arm is approximately is 3/8"thick x 7/8", and the gouge is about half that in both directions.

Replace or see if it holds up??

I would replace it,especially if you race. If it breaks while riding it could get ugly:eek:. Plus, if you change it, it's a good excuse to give the linkage bearings a little love:thumbsup:.
 
Boy you've had your share of out of ordinary problems. If it's gouged halfway through, you should probably do something with it. How about checking at work and see if one of those fitters will weld it?

Good idea, I will ask around. You had mentioned the guy in Newberg that could weld good.
