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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Simple Green, Simply The Best!

I look for a long time and tried many different products to clean the dried mud off the bike. I have to say, for the price, simple green cleaner is the best! After a muddy ride I had put the bike away dirty (I know, bad on me). I pulled it out 1 week later, sprayed the bike down with simple green, washed it off with water from hose only and it takes the dirt right off! Great stuff!
 
I've tried using it on my bike before, but did not think it was significantly better than Dawn dishwashing liquid...

However this year it has come to my attention that Simple Green is about the only cleaner I have ever tried that will remove tree sap from my hands.
 
Considering the cost of products who's names I won't mention that are made to specifically clean dirt from bikes, Simple green is a great product!! Yes it works great on tree sap, oil, grease, dirt, etc... and it leaves the plastics and motors clean without that oily shinny film other stuff leaves.
 
all good stuff. just don,t use LESTOIL to clean your air filters it eats away the glue :eek:
 
Extreme Simple Green Aircraft or Extreme Simple Green Motorsports cleaner works better without etching aluminum. Well if you leave it on long enough it will etch any soft metal. But it works great on aircraft AND bikes.
 
Simple green is not good for rubber stuff

high Alkiline

Huge no no for cleaning stuff that has rubber
 
The best stuff that I ever used (that's eviromentally friendly) is called Bean Clean. It's as tough on grease as carb cleaner but with no ill effects on plastic or rubber and is nice to the paint.
 
I use purple power to clean cylinder heads that I rebuild, and tried it once on a bike. That stuff is nasty. Maybe diluted (by a lot) it's ok, but it will definitely etch aluminum, and left permanent marks on my swing arm.

Yep, that's the stuff. Works really well:thumbsup:

Guess I don't really understand what the 'drain pan' is for? Assuming the stuff will not hurt the driveway / yard, then why not use a rag or newspaper instead of having to have (and store) the extremely large plastic thingamajig?
