  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 What did you do to your Husky today?

I thought it was as the small end bearing fit fine and with another wrist pin there was no movement. I put it back together and it was still tapping away, so pulled it back down and the big end is about to let go I believe. No up/down play, but a lot of side to side/twisting play in it.

Probably one single spot that's making all the noise. I had a right side crank bearing start to go out on a bike one time, and for the life of me I couldn't tell what was going bad....until I rotated the crank very slowly and checked it bit by bit. It felt nice and tight except in one teeny spot where there was actually free play.
 
Yeah I'll giv it a crack this weekend hopefully. Looks solid but surprisingly not that heavy. Pipe repairs cost me too much haha. Maybe I should spend it on riding lessons!

Hopefully the gnarly will fit in there too. Seems a fair bit of room all around the pipe so wel aee wen I get it back.

I like it! I need a TIG welder, 3D milling machine, lathe, plasma cutter and bending press to make a pipe guard.

"Yes Dear, it is a lot of money but those exhaust pipes are expensive to replace if they get damaged!"

I was wanting a heavy duty bumper on my truck but they want $1500+ for the stupid things and they are all steel vs I wanted aluminum. So uhh yea I bought a tig instead for less money :D


(then less than a week later the crank went out in my bike. grrr.)

juicy have you looked into buying some heat shrink tubing or the connectors that have it built in? the "weatherpack" connectors are nice as well for some thing you wish to connect and disconnect...

graphics are looking great on the bike
