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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No Toil Air Filter Cleaner & Oil

On Twin Air's webbie regarding rim grease -

Twin Air has recently developed a Biodegradable Sealant to be used on the sealing ring of a foam air filter while riding in very extreme conditions.

With a filter that is properly and evenly oiled, including the foam sealing ring, this new paste-like Sealant product stops any debris from passing through the foam filter at the contact point on the airbox and is easily cleaned with Twin Air BIO Dirt Remover or Twin Air Liquid Dirt Remover.
 
I have used No Toil successfully for years. Switched to the green stuff by accident (picked up the wrong bottle at the dealership)...Take it for what its worth...my head was destroyed because the bike sucked dirt. Some came from a popped airboot between the throttle body and the engine, but the inside of the throttle body and the airbox was dirty as well. I still use no toil...but only the red stuff and yes...I grease.
 
With all this air filter talk I pulled my freshly installed Twin Air to make sure I had the airbox/filter interface sealed. The metal flange has countersunk holes and the backfire screen some wire edges, etc... W/waterproof grease, greased the metal first, filling countersunk holes and fully around, placed backfire screen and greased it making sure to fill the channels where is wraps the metal support. Then placed filter and got a 3 tube pack of green grease ($5.99 at Autozone) to match the filters in the future :cool:
