  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 was having a general poke about my bike and checking it as i do... i happened to remove my tank to align my side panels that go onto the rad sides...
upon looking at the underside/front of the tank i noticed some marks/light gouges and immediately looked for the culprit that was going to cost me a tank and problems if happened in the trails ! ... so, the top mount of the force rad guards has a pointed square edge that was sticking into the tanks and for sure would have punctured it if it took a hit in rad area...
so i got the grinder out and took the edges off on a 45 deg angle....both sides.. theres now a couple of millimetres space just in case and is now flat instead of a triangular edge thast will pierce the tank...
so check your tank and that area ....also look for rubbing marks where the top rad hoses may also poke in to the tank too if screw head is tilted towards the tank... worth a look to save yourself grief !

You should let them know at Force as well. Assuming you haven't already.

Cheers
