• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 turn the key clockwise to release the latch and tug and pull and push and nothing happens except I move the bike a little bit and the @%^#$#! kick stand slaps up. Again. I hope the people who OK'd that design have been brought to justice.

And I need the sound killer insert for a LeoVince single exhaust, should anyone have one.
 
The key was only turning part way in the lock to the seat. The key/release setup seemed somewhat flimsy so I didn't want to twist too hard. But I finally got it to go all the way and the seat came right off. Tomorrow I cut off the pin. What an irritant.

There are no sound killers in the US, but I found a number of sites in EU that had lots of them, but none that would sell to the US (don't think I would either) or Norway, where I have a friend. I finally found a Swiss site that delivers only to Switzerland, Lichtenstein, UK, and Norway! Part is making its way here. However, I don't think it will make as much difference as I'd like. Thanks for the sound link. I may end attaching one of those to the LV piece.
 
I vaguely remember something like that happening. At the key lock end something had happened at the rotating lever end to block it from rotating fully or something blocking at the latch end. This was a long time ago and all I can remember. I'm sure you looked at that when you finally go the seat off.

Post up a full picture of your bike. I have mine set up with a red Safari for some distance touring. Lots of other goodies too.
 
I had a local exhaust guy knock up some DB killers for my Arrow cans. If the part doesn't make it, try that.
