  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 To reiterate, check your sprocket bolts often, or else...

New hubs are available here in UK, around £200 for hub assembly (inc bearings, spacer, seals) so could probly get one of those built onto original rim (excel) using original spokes for a total of under £300. Talon also make a hub that retails for about £235. I have seen second hand wheels for 4 stroke models, i have researched compatability and it looks fraught with dangers but not out of the question. Might hang on until the Dirt Bike Show next month.

well, I just hit "reply" on someone's post and it tells me the post# and member# ...you're #7675

but at the bottom of each post is the person's name. when you hover your mouse over it, a URL comes up made of the persons name and member#.

'cept for the 3digit and less members (meaning they been around since '08 or so) member numbers don't really tell you anything. well, in your case- you got in before the site was spam-a-lot ('14-'15 IIRC). I'm 60701 on this account; my old frozen account (shovelhead85) is something like (#3851). I followed coffee over from ThumperTalk but didn't post or even join until my kid got a husky... then I got one. :thumbsup: I wonder how veloci-whatever/LLamaface is doing.
 
I had some trouble with lose sprocket bolts- tacoed one rear sprocket completely .
I wondered if it was vibration from the millions of hits the wheel takes along with the endless chain pull from on/off throttle/brakes. I tested plumber's thread sealant on the entire bolt thread and coated the bolt as well as the mating contact surface of the sprocket and hub. End of problem; if it was vibration the pipe seal seems to disperse it.

Had same issue with sprocket bolts this spring. Lock nuts and torque checked before the trip. Two days in..... lost 4 of the 6. New bolts from local Honda place, with lock nuts and thread locker. So far so good.

It did dig into swing arm quite a bit. Hope that won't be a weak point for swing arm failure in the future.
