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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tighten these...

Did about 1300 miles the last two weeks, our weather has been really supportive of my riding lately. The bike needed a wash and I did a pretty thorough job. Given the bike the once over I found a missing bolt on the front fender guard. Will replace the missing one
and locktite all of them. The bolt has that flange, and then shoulder underneath the flange, so I'll be ordering the OEM part and getting a few.

And then I found that the bolt that holds that little box under the rear fender was loose. Looking a bit further, the captive nut behind the bolt had actually slipped off the little plastic slot. I put it back on and snugged it up. In theory, it might a bit of strength to the rear fender, I recommend checking it, and the one in front of it too. It's the shiny one right in the middle of this picture...

Thanks for the heads up!
I'm picking up my new Terra on Wens and I will probably locktite every nut & bolt on all body panels ect.
Any other problem fasteners to look out for?
 
I checked 90% of the bolts for tightness, the one under the seat was not one of them. Thanks for the heads up.
