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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Synergy seals lower shock bushing

ask darrin. he had one in the 144 he bought off me. i have one in the wings waiting to be put in my 300 also.

last i knew he was having good luck with it still.
 
tim. we have been using them and drilling and putting a zirk fitting in as well. works good. This is freddy down in Wilmington.
 
I bought one for my 300 and it didn't fit (too big OD). Then I lost it and couldn't send it back to them for inspection. Duh!

I then got a hemi-spherical bearing from all-balls and have had great luck with it. I've gotten a few years out of it so far mostly winter riding in swamp conditions. I can remove the lwr shock bolt, clean and grease it in a matter of minutes without removing the shock entirely. Its a huge upgrade vs. the standard roller (aka ruster) bearings. I'm sure the synergy bushing is low maintenance too... I just couldn't get it to press in without destroying it.

Fred, any chance you have some in process pics? Is the zerk just centered on the bottom?

I have one of those on the way also, along with every other bearing and seal for the swingarm/linkage.
