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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky/Arrow Special Parts Exhaust Installation

Just getting around to installing a used set I got off of the classifieds here, me being the maroon that I am I assumed that the exhaust cans installed the same way as the factory ones and had ordered a new set of exhaust "doughnuts".

Upon test fitting it looks like the Arrow cans slide on with a metal-metal fit with no exhaust "doughnuts" and use a smaller exhaust T-Bolt clamp? Pretty sure that the package came with the new hanger hardware and possibly the T-Bolt clamps but I wanted to confirm before I go tearing into the winter "pile o parts".
 
They are slip-fit. Run a thin bead of high-temp (I use Ultra Copper Permatex) silicone around the end of the inner pipe (should be the forward pipe) before assembly. There will be a small bead of silicone pushed up by the outer pipe. LEAVE IT THERE, don't wipe it off. In a few hours, use a razor blade and trim the excess bead off after it's completely cured.
 
yea no spacers needed.. arrows are metal on metal and come with their own clamps which are lighter weight.. overall with the arrow pipes you will save 3.5 - 4 lbs over stock.. also, you might receive "db killers" which are not db killers at all but are just spark arrestors that plug into the front of the cans not the ends and do nothing at all for sound .. I like quiet pipes.. and the arrows are loud.. I run mine all the time though because they are awesome.. and they really wake this bike up big time esp with the ecu
