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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I tried to get a TC airbox cover for my TXC through the various dealers and they couldn't get me one. After 3 months waiting I resorted to the following:

Ace hardware sells a bag of 6 3" aluminum vents for 15 bucks (enough for 2 bikes):

Short story is drill holes and secure in place with RTV silicone, making sure you leave enough space above for filter cage and sponge filter. I used a metric 74mm hole saw and the vents fit so snug, they probably don't even need the silicone to secure:

The thing I like about this design (since I still have my Zipty crankcase breather routed to the airbox) is oil doesn't drip out of the aluminum vents because of the internal 'lip'.
