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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Air/Oil Filters

Harder,

This is what Touatech sent me today. Unless this is your filter in the picture...because you already was there...:D

I'm excited about this one...Could you go and see if you can stuff that sucker into that small little air box hole on your bike...(and no sex joke...OK)



Man, that might work! If the foam is soft enought to be squished in place. I'll see if I can get there tomorrow...as long as a frag grenade doesn't get thrown into my office.

Speaking of getting the airfilter in and out. Has anyone come up with a solution for the bottom right screw.
I don't know if its just my bike, or if it's common to all bikes, but I can get all three of the screws holding the air filter in, but even with the aid of all the swearing and remonstrating in the world, I cannot get that screw to bite into the clip and secure. I think it might just be that the screw has to be inserted and tightened on an angle which my tools do not give me sufficient thrust in the right direction. The odd thing is that I have a philips head screw with the same thread and thread length and I can get that one in there no probs. I've tried all of the 3 t25 screws for the air filter cover in that position and none of them will bite so I guess that rules out the screw or the clip on the inside being at fault. (The screw in question is the one here on the bottom right, just above the radiator mount)

Nev, When you say you have tried all three screws...Did you try them with out the A/F cover first? Mine was a bit tough to start and ended up poking a small scribing tool in the hole first to realign the metal clip. With the aid of a torch...(flashlight for the rest of us):D
For that matter I find myself doing this to a lot of the metal clips needed for panels screws too.
Something I guess we will have to live with.

Yeah it goes on fine without the cover on. I'm pretty sure it all comes down to just getting the right angle of attack onto it to get that initial bite into the thread. With a screwdriver I can get it but not with any of the torx tools or extensions I have. I guess I'll have to live with it.
 
I got a couple OEM extras from Halls with my side panels...# 8539189 $21.75 eac

The number doesn't come up on their web site though.

Not sure if Harder ever made it Touatech to check out the foam ones they have.:excuseme:
