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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do You Pre-filter?

Just curious, who hear runs a pre-filter after the pod mod? If you do what do you use? I have oiled “cut to size” home air filter media as a pre filter now. No issues, but I wonder if it’s necessary and if the bike might breathe more freely without a prefilter. A well oiled uni filter should do the job, right?
 
I am running without the pre filter that came with Uni filter and have a sock filter that is oiled in the original filter location, so a basic pre filter. I was not comfortable running without some kind of pre filter due to the amount of dirt riding that I do. Unfortunately I can't tell you how effective it is because I haven't looked at it since the modification was done and I did put it through some serious crap including a good swamping that completely filled the cylinder. Performance wise it is fantastic. I did do the GPR single exhaust at the same time and the combo really woke the bike up.
 
After doing the pod mod, I bought a cheap package of scrubby dish washing pads, cut them to size to cover the original air filter hole, with a large mesh screen to prevent them getting sucked through and using air filter oil to soak the scrubby. I know it doesn't keep the smaller crud out but it sure gets out the chunks. The pod mod filter only needs to be cleaned a couple time a year and the pre filter gets cleaned way more often, but it's a five minute job.

I wonder if a filter sock over the 3-D filter frame mod would work?

where would you put the sock? I also have Engenia's 3D filter frame and just took the Unifilter out. It was really dirty outside but perfectly clean inside as were airbox and throttle body (checked the valves too). I have two Unifilters for quicker swap so i can clean the dirty one when i have sufficient time. It's so simple to change and so efficient that i don't see a need for a pre-filter.
 
I gues you'd just slip it over the outside of the Unifilter, like a sock. Maybe it would help to avoid regular washing & re-oiling?
