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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone have any opinion as to the foil adhesive heat shield you see on some bikes. Just ordered some new side plastics and was thinking of using on inside of panels to help keep them from melting. Also believe may be good to use in other places. Any opinions on good or bad and recommended brands? At first thought about header wrap but seems to not do well if it gets wet according to some.
 
I don't know what they are making these days, but if Moto Tiles is still around, that stuff works good. I still have a couple of packages from the 1980s and recently used some on my CR85 when I installed a new FMF SST pipe and Q spark arrestor on it. The spark arrestor was right up against the right hand side plate. Cut a piece of Moto Tile and slapped it right onto the inside of the plate. Worked like a charm. Also wrapped a radiator hose that was touching an aftermarket pipe on my 86 KX250 with the stuff back in the day, and it worked quite well on that too.
