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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 IMS Tank Fitment Issues

I've had my IMS tank on now for a month or so and still find that there is a fitment issue. The tank wings sit at different heights (throttle side low) and this seems to be related to the front tank bolt/hold slot.

Without the bolt the tank sits perfect but as soon as I install the bolt and sleeve it causes the awkward fit.

Anyone else experience this and if so is there a remedy?

Mine sits exactly the same way. Left wing was 1/4" above the shroud when 1st installed and has remained so since. Had to trim the right shroud down 1/8" to keep the wing off of it. Are the rubber bumpers touching the frame at the aft end of the tank on yours? Mine still don't but the seat fits fine so I haven't pursued tweaking anything. I believe the 2 steel locator posts are a little bit off from the tank's pattern and cause my issue. Maybe yours is the same?
 
Mine's the same regarding the wings. Sets VERY close on the bumpers but not quite flush without me on the seat. No problems though. TE 250
 
Had another new IMS tank to try from Halls and it fit identical. The only way I could elevate the right side was by using an additional rubber shim on the right rear mounting post to lift the right side.

This is extremely puzzling... I've ensured there was no contact anywhere under the tank and infact took a file to the weld bead where the two frame sides meet the single beam from the head stock under the center of the tank in an attempt to remove any excess weld from bumping the bottom of the tank. I don't get it??? unless they are all this way or I have a tweaked frame..
