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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

It looks good, but I wild have come up a bit more on the side to protect the oil sump and filter area.

Yep .. and its giving me something to practice my Aluminium welding
Im thinking to build rear rack from Aluminium as well what do you think ? or to do it from stainless steel ...
 
I have the UNIMIG AC/DC 200 , thinking to do the racks from aluminium to keep the weight down and its still strong but maybe I'm wrong
 
Good job, think about some holes to help water and mud escape and as importantly to fascilitate engine noise bounce back.
 
Thanks ghte! I notice the moment I fired her up about the noise difference , Im gonna make some holes in the future..
 
Stuff some free-flowing foam in there (like anti-slosh fuel tank foam) between the plate (which looks very good) and the engine, it will let water run through but won't let trash and crap build up as badly, and will help mute the noise. You might consider building a bolt-on "wing" for the right side to help protect the oil pump and oil filter cap.
 
Yes Im thinking to do that in the next few days or so.. thanks for the foam advice ! i will try it
