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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mud flap replacement

Mine broke in two. There's been some rubbing against the wheel, or it got stiff and couldn't cope with the folding under the petrol tank.

It's just neoprene so the replacement is 3mm insertion rubber from Clark Rubber which has some reinforcing.

Great minds.

I suspect it's a bit too long, and the top part bulges backwards during suspension compression connecting with the tyre.

Put the bike on a centre stand or bike lift. Disconnect dog bones. Let the swingarm hang in its lowest position. If there is still okay in the flap you can shorten it until there's no more slack.
You might even go a bit shorter, a I'm not sure a completely extended shock has enough travel to get the swingarm that low.
 
When do you ride with disconnected links?

When the wheel's off the ground you have maximum extension (maybe give or take a few mm if there's an internal bump stop).
