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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I all ready posted this in my bullet proof the TE300 thread but feel its important so here is the solo hose thread.

"continuing the thread, this is an important issue for those adding sillycone hoses. Mine are CV4. I will try to explain this.... OK at the top of cylinder connection on these and KTMs the hose is attached to the cylinder head with the barb fitting the hose goes up to a free floating metal hose barb that is inside the frame. With oem thinner hose the hose slides over the hose barb and slides up inside the cutout into the frame then the clamp is tightened leaving an extra length of hose to fill the gap between the metal barb and frame cutout. When installing the Silly hose its too wall thick to slide up into the frame, this leaves the metal hose barb banging around metal to metal on the cut out.
I cut @ 1/2 IN of OEM hose and slid it onto the hose barb then slide the silly blu hose onto the barb, this pushed the oem hose section up through the frame cut out as it was designed to do so the barb is snug and insulated from metal to metal chafing using the oem hose section. The blu sillycone butts to the end of the oem hose and is clamped over the barb and Rob is happy, husky is happy and so goes goes the bullet proof into the next phase. "

Metal to metal chafing/vibrating together is not a good thing.​
