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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te 511 rear shock

Suspension guy put the shock in with the bottom 180deg off. can the shock be rotated with the top in place?
 
If you get it up on a stand and remove the lower pivot you might be able to make the lower pivot rotate by turning the spring. This assumes that the lower pivot will come all the way out of the mount.
 
Thanks, the shop is supposed to be suspension experts but if he cant figure out how to place the shock I wonder what else is wrong.
 
Hopefully it wasn't us?
If Kelly lived closer, I'd be tempted to secretly fill his shock with spacers giving 0" of travel and install it without saying anything. :D
 
You would be my first choice but it would be an all day drive.
Looking forward to receiving your oil catch device. after 700 miles of carefree riding the bike decided to puke several ounces of oil after the last ride.

This is correct. One note, I've noticed that pulling to bolt stretches the bejesus out of the rear brake fluid line. It's held onto the swingarm with a long clip. Best to pull it from the clip on the swing arm and also there is another retainer that holds the line in a 180. Take the hose out of one end of that retainer as well. It'll give you just enough slack to let the swing arm drop lower.

We get many forks and shocks shipped to us. Gun cases work great, if not, lots of bubble wrap. :thumbsup:
