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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys,

finally putting my bike back together, needed up receiving a 300 kit and a lectern carby!

The bike is at the mechanics still, he assembled the power valve and has installed the new cylinder piston and rings. All thats left is to put the head on, however he believes the old head bolts are over stretched and the rubber washers are missing on most.

Now i rang my local dealers and the bolts are a ridiculous $11.50 each and the washers an even worse $21.40 each! keep in mind i need 6 of each!

Now could i just buy generic bolts of the right thread pitch from the local bolt store and use those ($1.00 each)?

Also the part number for the 300 head bolt washers (8B0064988) lists them as a copper washer? can anyone confirm this? and if they are a copper washer is there anything special about them? can i just get generic copper washers?

If anyone has the pictures of the washers and measurements of the bolts i would be really grateful!
 
Where are you located? Your local dealers are screwing you. Halls Cycles lists the washers (8B00 64988) at $5.99 each. Still not dirt cheap, but 1/4 the cost you've been quoted!

Why does the mechanic think that the bolts are stretched?
 
I'm in Australia mate, and I've checked halls out and noticed the price difference. However I want the parts yesterday and it'll take over a week to get here from the states.

Surely theres nothing to special about the bolts and washers.
