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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear shock guard question

Just noticed the top part of the guard on my bike is just hanging after I washed the bike. Maybe all the mud was holding it in place.
Can anyone tell me how the metal bit is attached to the bike at the top, is it held on by rivets?
Guess they weren't really designed to be jumped :naughty:

Thanks for that Chuffa, now to try and fit the rivet gun in there, might have to drop the exhaust down.
 
Mine broke and fell off my bike going 55 mph. I got lucky and found a used one on Ebay. I drilled out the holes and used larger rivets. Hopefully this one will last another 10,000 miles.
 
Just noticed the other day, mine has done the same thing, nearly 10k klms also.
Thanks for asking the question and for the answer
 
my rivet broke ages ago, put another in and it been good ever since....very strange that exact same rivet on everyone's breaks.
 
Point to note if you are drilling out that hole for a bigger rivet be careful..I think thats the fuel tank behind the flap
