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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Put the new mirrors on my bike today. Can't really see anything out of them, but I like the cleaner look without the huge stock mirrors. I don't mind doing shoulder checks more often on this bike anyway, the seating position makes it a lot more comfortable than trying to do it on my sport touring bike; for whatever reason that may be.

First one is climbing Hurley pass about 1/2 way up, looking at Sugarloaf Mountain. Second is from Bralorne and the Pub patio. Third is up in the Chilcotons after an overnight camp on the way home looking at Castle Mountain.

I look like a Wolfman poster boy. You can't even see it all, what can I say I got a really good deal. The set up worked great. Just need to be more efficient packing. First trip with a loaded bike and it worked great. Just need to work on that fuel range.
 
Took a day trip to the Salak mountain of West Java last weekend...

How much plasti dip do I need to buy to do that?


I've never used Plati Dip yet so I can't say for sure, but I'd say 1-2 cans would definitely get the job done. That assuming you put approx. 5 layers on. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

You can do the rims with the tires still on, you should be able to slide tape right under the rim so that you get none of your tires. I had my wheels painted that way and not a drop got on the rubber and you'd never be able to tell.

You should check with someone with more knowledge about the Plasti Dip though, I don't want to make you spend more money than you have to! Or the opposite and have you not pick up quite enough.
 
I used 2 cans, (Home Depot)

Did it while on bike, with tires on. Cover brakes etc well. Overspray on tires peels off, as well as spokes
