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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

IMS tank not fitting correctly

I installed my IMS tank on my 08 TE450 last night. It seems that the 2 rear bumpers do not sit down on the frame like they are supposed to. They are about a 1/4" off. This makes the seat very hard to put on. The tank is not hitting anything that I can tell. It seems like if it could slide forward a little it would help but is hindered by the 2 locating posts. Has anyone experienced this? Any help...suggestions? I have a call in to Hall's but not able to get up with them. Thanks.

All 3 of the tanks I've gone through fit like yours, with my latest one fitting the best. Initially the bumpers were 1/4" off the frame, but the tank has settled in a bit since then and they now touch the frame when I'm sitting on the bike. You can try leaving the front tank bolt real loose and tap the tank as forward as possible, install the seat, then tighten the front bolt last. Double check the radiator shroud clearance in case they are touching the tank and preventing it from seating. :thumbsup: Good luck.
