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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok dumb question but since it's aluminum I assume some local welder could helio arc it? I got some serious cracks started where the tabs are that the muffler bolt on to. Just a matter of time now. All from one simple falling over. So wanted to strengthen them before it's too late. Suggestions?
I looked for parting out bikes but they are just about impossible to find and didn't want to get depressed by a new parts quote from dealer.
 
tig weld or even a skilled mig would do the trick. ive had guys at work tig some alum repair for me that looked and held up up great. of course these things should never be welded as it messes up the heat treat but what are you gonna do? alot of our alum is mig welded at work, only our toolboxes are tigged as they are thinner metal and the tig gets it done without warping. im far from an expert but they have fixed alot of stuff for me so a shop should be able to fix it no problem for you. i will say the tig does look a bit better.
