  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Will a 2010 rear fender fit on a 2008?

What you can do is get a new set of side panels and cut them the same angles as newer side panels. I taped it off last fall and may still do it. Then roll the edges round and smooth edge with real fine sand paper and block of wood.
 
I tired rolling the edges on my gas gas but didn't like how it turned out....how were you going to do it?
 
The old trick to cutting your fenders or side panels. Get a new pair of straight tin snips. Make your cut outline with masking tape. Make your cut. You'll have a rough end after cut. Take block of wood, drill about 1/4 inch hole thru it, then cut wood block in half, so you cut hole in half. Go get some adhesive backed sand paper and stick it in the wood, half rounded groove. Go like 600 grit paper or even finer . Put new masking tape along your cut edge of plastics about 1/16 of an inch away from cut on front side of plastics to protect them from scratching while you use your sanding block to roll your cut ends. Try your old set to ptractice with first.
 
hmmm I like...where did you get your template...I was thinking of ordering new backgrounds and go from there
 
I was going to cut my 08 side panels like the newer x light models. I used 2 inch masking tape, copying the side plates, then moved tape template over to my 08's. Really looked sharp at the steeper angles towards rear fender. On exhaust side showed more of the silencer and looked good. I told the graphic co to make my numbers/smaller and move them up higher on my proof. Good thing I didn't cut them because they didn't do it. If they would of done them like it told them. I could have trimmed them to my cuts. Plus my fork leg graphics are cut to the newer style protectors vs the older style. I made a conversion bracket to convert old style to new style fork leg protectors. Now I can go white instead of stuck with black.

I did my new graphics in light silver faded to black with red husky logos and red numbers. They look bad! Then layed them next to an all black set of plastic and an all white set. Think all white looks better. I am going to do frame in light silver, full polished fork tubes/triple clamps, polished engine covers,with red inlays/polished swing arm. Polished hubs/black rims. I'll post the final picture of it in about 6 weeks.
