Safari Tank wiring caution

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hi all,
Have been chasing an intermittent dash fault on my Strada and found the spigot (replaces the bolt holding the top subframe rail) on my RH Safari tank was rubbing on my main wiring loom due to the thread of the spigot being approx 10mm too long. Might be worth a check if you are running Safari tanks. I ended up shortening the thread by about 5mm and putting a rubber cap on the end to prevent it getting worse. Not sure if it was the source of my problem, but the dash has behaved on a 50km ride so far….
