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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

General Fork Seal Question??

So, I've had a tiny leak on my lower LHS fork tube for a while. Honestly it was just residue on the tube. Today I noticed quite a bit more. When I got home I popped off the dust seal to do the film scraper trick under the seal and see if that helped. I didn't even get that far when I noticed the little metal spring embedded into the fork seal was broken. My question is, is this normal? what causes this spring to break anyway? I'm just trying to keep this from happening after I replace the seals if thats possible.

Bad luck, bad seal I guess typically not a normal occurrence. I would just order up a new set.:thumbsup:

Never seen a normal seal do that. We use to take the springs a stretch them a bit to make them fit tighter when we were kids and really couldn't afford new seals.
Your allowance wasn't very much back then and you were lucky if you could afford fuel for the week...:lol::lol:

Ya, life of a dirt bike I guess. There's no way I'm NOT riding though! Life's too fun on the husky!
