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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Marking a translucent gas tank

So I painstakingly marked my ims gas tank on my wr300 in half gallon increments. Problem is no way will a magic marker stay marked, tuck tape will be gone in two rides. Suggestions?
(My wr is plated so I wanted to keep a little primix preminxed in gallon increments
on me in case in a pinch I gotta go to a gas station.)
 
I used black vinyl stickers cut into small rectangles. They look like a sharpie mark but more visible. They have been on there for a year and show no sign of wear or falling off.
 
Hot soldering iron and lightly score your marker and then go over with a sharpie. The outside will fade but inside the scored mark won't.
 
Get a plastic weld kit (I think they're cheap, like $20) and weld black plastic on it.

EDIT: just looked on Harbor Freight. They have a HD one for $50. The one my friend used was much less HD and he said he paid around $20. He plastic welded a crack in my oversized tank more than a year ago and it's held. Probably 25 or more races on it now.
