• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 know if this is bad (picture attached)

That won't cause any problems at all, it's supposed to be like that. It bent over to prevent the counter shaft sprocket nut from coming undone while riding the bike.
Now go out at ride that 310r like there's no tomorrow!!
 
by the way that yellow stripe is OEM torque stripe the nut has not moved on the shaft from day it was installed at the factory, nor can it move like mentioned above with the bend lock washer installed.
 
And this pic shows you what you can't see with the nut on the shaft, the spline cutout that keeps the washer from rotating.

:D good thing you didn't take a flat head and straighten 'er out.

The clutch hub is held on in the same way, on my bike anyway. Countershaft has a circlip now which I think is pretty slick.
