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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Remove Endcap From Stock Exhaust?

Hello:

I'm fiddling with a second stock exhaust from a 2008 TE610 that I picked up from someone who replaced it with an aftermarket system.

I'd like to see if I can fit a PMB endcap with approved spark arrestor to it. Its dry here in New Mexico and I suspect that the Forest Service, BLM and other land management agencies will be particularly vigilant this summer regarding spark arrestors.

So I'm trying to remove the stock endcap. I have the rivets drilled out completely and I'm trying to get the endcap out. No luck so far. Tried taping on the slightly exposed edge that mates with the aluminum casting and I tried hooking the inside edge with an "L" shaped piece of stock. Neither seems to budge the cap.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hello Reddog:

Thanks for the link. I'd seen that post. I'm hoping to avoid cutting the casting which is what I understand Larryboy did.

Hello BentAero:

Thanks for the link. I'll try that. I wasn't using a hook when I tried the "L" shaped piece of stock and the "L" wouldn't hold. The hook looks like a better idea.
