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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Sureflex is good
It seems your count is low. Might as well download a pdf file of the parts sheet and wander around in that. Over time they added a metal and friction plate and made them all thinner so it is not possible to say for sure. The idea is to have the basket full to the top. I am sure the parts sheets have a number of each. Which is better aluminum or steel is a topic for another day so you are somewhere in the middle.

I just had my 87 430 clutch apart, trying to figure out why my 88 430 has such a nice clutch action (easy, disengages w/ no stalls) and my 87 430 does not (stalls when in gear, hard to pull).
I think it had 6 fiber and 7 steel plates. Also we put new clutch springs in, but only used 4 springs instead of 6.
We found some interesting problems,
- even though kickstarter worked fine, the kickstarter shaft was slightly bent (it's a short, fat solid shaft, not easy to bend)
- kickstarter pawl was chewed up
- here's the real interesting one... we couldn't figure why 2 case gaskets were used between the case and primary case cover. No amount of fiddling could make the cover close tight. We finally decided the cover was flawed and machined too shallow, so they used 2 gaskets otherwise the kickstarter would bind. Tried another cover with new kickstarter parts and it fit nicely.
Its good to take covers off and look around inside, you never know what you'll find.
