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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just a few shots of the bikes today. 's starting to get warm enough to work in the sun! Was able to mount up my NOS exhaust on the WR250, as well as really soak the rear chain adjuster bolts that are stuck. Thanks for all the replies in my other thread about these stuck bolts. Gonna follow everyones advice.

My brother's 1980 YAMAHA IT250 is coming along nice:

did you soak the chain adjuster from the inside and outside or just the outside?
if only the outside make sure to do the inside as well,
most swingarms have a hole to allow for welding expansion
these usually have a rubber plug in the modern ones and pull the plug and soak the back of the adjuster
in extreme cases remove the swingarm and stand it up so the penetrant gets down to the threads
