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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

When the FMF sticker burns and the can gets discolored the packing definitely went south. Sometimes if water gets into the packing it will greatly shorten the life. Pull it apart and repack/inspect for sure.
 
I'm sure FMF also sells sticker sets if that's important to you. Gettingthe old glue off is a PITA. I recently replaced the ones on mine.Previous owner did a number on them.

That's a great point about water running the packing.

Improper washing of the bike is also a leading culprit. I've found various muffler plugs to be less than 100% reliable so now I stuff a clean shop rag into my end cap and then cover with 3 stripes of Gorilla tape of approximately 6" - 8" and pressed down very hard to form a reliable seal.

Depending on how long you've had pipe it may be worth a call to FMF to see if they might cover some or all of this under warranty..
 
Well repacked it and seems to be good. did a hare scramble over the weekend and no issues
