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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Some of the pictures on page 2 of this thread are gone now too?
I hope this isn't some of the things to come, as I got included on PM to Dean (coffee) about
"servers OS is end of life as of March 2017 (cafehusky will still run normally)"
and how he's "so I am moving my sites to another provider in Feb."
don't how that will effect things here? will see I guess

I see two pics starting with the parabolic heater, then another post with six more pics, all from SnoDrtRider. Don't seem to be having any issues. We're there other pics?

Well, I just check all of my links to the photos and they are good... Just in case something wonky happens here is a direct link to my album on Google Photos.
Let me know if you can view the photos please. It is a shared album so you should be able to. I have turned off comments and collaboration.

Your a stand up kinda guy BB , I love your spirit we give you grief and you just keep coming back ... Here's to you bud
My 390cr had a brand new older trellborg tenmasters on the rear, a mikuni 38mm carb replaced the tired bing. Plus my 290lb body was n the seat. Instead of the rear tire losing traction I wicked it in sixth gear and the front wheel came up.
We rode the dam week nights and weekend mornings before the crowd showed up. I pushed that 390cr.

Scored these last night on E-bay...
16.5 eye to eye the shocks that were on the bike are 15" hope they work.
The Ohlins need to be rebuilt but they are period.

Might be another change in plans... The forecast "late afternoon" rain has now spread to most of the day... May show up in York if the weather is bad for riding...
And they are limited supply there as well.

I live in an area where there is plenty of farm equipment any NAPA or Equipment repair shop can make hoses that far exceed what is required for shocks.

Every once in a while I really stick my foot in my mouth. That said, I have to admit when I saw the hoses and the comments about hard to find, I was thinking the same thing. Might not find perfect stock/vintage look, but pressure rating, length, diameter and fitting size. Unless one of those is really odd, someone makes something suitable.

The average farm tractor hydraulic system operates at 5,000-6,000 psi, heavy equipment at higher pressures than that. I have a local shop that used to make up hoses for Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Citroen ride height leveling systems for us. I'm pretty sure they can make hoses that handle 185 PSI.
I have just the hose in mind should I need them... had a NAPA store make a hose up for a UNI bucket lift a few years ago... black nylon outer sheath... slide the old springs over and you wouldn't know the difference.
