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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sealmate ?

Has any used seal mate for leaky fork seal? Does it work? If so, where do you find it besides the internet ? I have a ride to go on this week and of course one fork is leaking oil. BTW the bike is a 2009 wr300.
 
I`ve used old style film negitives in the past with pretty good results. If its just a piece of dirt it works, sometimes the seal is just shot.

I read that somewhere. A friend of mine had one of those seal mates. I tried it today. Seemed to work well. Easy to use. Ill see how it works after I ride through the rough stuff. I'll let you know.
 
All you need is a broken tape measure.
Cut about 5 inches off the end of the measuring tape and re-cut the end of the [steel] tape to a shape like your baby fingernail. Works forever. Use the concave side against the tube- slides right up in there EZ and clean those babies w ease.
 
Thanks for the tips. I did use the sealmate before a long ride. I have to say it worked good. No leaks at all. Beats replacing seals.
