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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yeah that's an amen savior frame American metal engineering. I believe it stands for little bit of a spring on the top, even less spring on the bottom with my fat ass. They're both screaming at the same time hahaha

The 78 triumph chopper needs a sissy bar and suicide shift. And how the heck are you going to start it with your knees falling apart?

Looks like it kissed the pavement at one time. Sounds good, I like the quick revs. Sounds like it'll capable of causing the rider to unleash a whole lot of feel good hormones.
 
So I bought a Nice original Kawasaki by Kerker Chrome Header because I did not like the black painted one with the slipon muffler.
And
It don't fit. :eek:
Turns out the mounting lip on the old one is about 1/4 thick and the new chrome one is 16ga. so you can not tighten the header to the head by a bit! The split collars are short by 1/8"+.
Dang!!! If I add to the header it has to be air tight, so I have the crusty rusty split collars from the Z1-R but it is 1000cc so the collars are larger. So I took one and cleaned it up on the wire wheel and put it in the vice and crimped it a bit until it fit in the split collars clamping flange. OK We are moving, then I checked the crimpage to the pipe! OK Moving on the split collars are now touching each other and require trimming to get them to stay in the flange and close on the pipe as they sit in the well of the exhaust port and there is no side Clearance Clarence!! So a bit of time on the disc sander and DANG!! It Worked!! The Pipes seal on the exhaust port and there is enough room to tighten them against the crush sealing washers!!
Sweet!!
The bike Sounds Awesome and the Exhaust Looks Wonderful!!

I saw in the first set of pics that the swingarm was being sawed in half and also wondered WTF. Maybe the previous owner thought it would soon stop cutting and everything would then be okay. :eek:
