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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help with wallowed out foot peg holes

Husqvarna
AA Class
New owner of a 2012 TXC 310 with some good millage on the bike and need to take care of a few things. The first of which is wallowed out peg holes as well as some wear on the bottom side of the peg perch. The perch I'm confident I can build up worth a few tack welds and grind flat.

The wallowed hole however I wasn't sure the best way to fix. I did some searching and found that some drill them out and use a larger pin but I'm thinking a washer or bushing with a collar might be the ticket if I could find one in the right size.

If anyone's been here and found a good solution I'm all ears.

Just wanted to follow up in this for those of you that run into this. I looked into getting larger pins but decided to just to weld the hole in a little and file out it back out. Not the fastest process but it worked great.

The bike is a 2012 with 100 hours on it. The first ownerChris Gosslin from SC is a AA racer and known to be hard on bikes. The second owner didn't really do much other then change the fluids and put about 10 hours on it. I bought it for a very good price eyes open knowing it needed some TLC after Chris.

I haven't met him just googled and he looks bigger then me. I'd say I90 to my 175 but I guess all the time in the pegs had to toll. In addition to the pegs he wore the hole in the pegs and even the pins.

I had a friend weld in a few beads and I just took my time and filed as needed. They may not look great in the pictures but the fit is dam near perfect. I also added a tac at the bottom so I could add a little angle. When the paint dries I'll take a pic with the hardly used pegs and pins I got in ebay they look as good as new.

You can't see it in this pic but I've got the tank off it and I'm handling so less then kind wiring hacks he did. The bike was wired with click on/off for the fuel pump and a momentary switch for starting it. I've been having issues with both so I just ordered some new ones and I'll clean up the wiring and everything should be fine.
