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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone modified George's throttle tube to run bark busters? [aluminum]. I'm sure there is a way & wanted to get some ideas before getting started. Thanks, I hope.

It can e done but it takes a bit of creativity. What I did was to use a wedge anchor in the handlebars and a piece of stainless tubing to space the bearing in the end out. It's kinda hard to explain without you having the parts in front of you so you can see what I'm talking about but I would be happy to walk you through the process. If get the tube and feel like you need some guidance PM me and I'll give you my phone #. Georges throttle tubes are awesome (Like everything he makes) but he really opposes the use of bark busters so he didn't incorporate the option of using them with his throttle tube. It's actually a pretty easy mod. so don't let that stop you from buying one.:cheers:
 
I asked the same thing to George. Same conclusion. Any chance on clueing another in on how to mount up some cycras? The bearing is nice but....

Thanks Mike

I already have the throttle tube & didn't want to send it back because the design looks awesome. I did talk to George & he said it could be done but it would take some creativity. So I won't be wasting your time I plan on trying to install it so I will see the problems & then pm you if I need to. Thanks for the offer & I will keep you posted. :thumbsup:
