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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rubber bleed screw cap needed... cheap!

Zip Ty forgot my clutch slave bleed rubber cap and I'm loath to pack that fitting with mud and sand so before I ride, I need a new cap. Well well. Try SB Motorsports who sells KTMs and a lot more. Gee... Can't find any. Stopped at O'Reilly Auto Parts... Figured a no brainer there and might have to buy them in a bulk pak. Another dumb stare. Not worth traveling for a silly $.50 cent cap I assumed would be easy enough to replace. I am unwilling to pay $10 shipping since assume one could put in in an envelope with a stamp. In any case, anyone got a spare? Hate to have to buy an entire clutch slave to get the cap :eek:

Found one value priced at $1.40 plus $9 shipping :rolleyes: http://www.hrpworld.com/store/defau...er-screw-dust-cap/bleeder-screw-cap-each.html

Check around at some Japanese MC dealers. They might have some in stock...otherwise cut a vacuum cap short and fit it on temporarily.
 
Wow... Fast on the replies! I'll prod my Ducati dealer as I'm sure they have one and they are 4 blocks away. My KTM dealer surprised me. They sell Yam, Suz, KTM and Honda.
 
Wow. I would've thought you'd get 2 at half that price. Didja try honda or even an auto-parts store- bleeders are kind of a commodity.
 
Me too. I said in my initial post the bike shop and auto parts store. Cheaper in the end to not drive or ride and not waste my time. Makes me wonder about businesses today. It felt like maybe I was speaking French and they could not understand... Où est le Brake bleed screw cap? I bet service had a box of them. The auto parts guy really was clueless like he was a stocker at 7-11 before he got that gig. :rolleyes:
