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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So after owning the bike a few months firstly the dash decided to pack up. After a bit of research I decided on the trail tech endurance 2 which so far has been brilliant

I went into a special mode and put the correct miles and hours the bike had done and then calibrated the Speedo. At 70-71mph on dash Google maps GPS reads 70mph so real pleased with how spot on I got it

Next plan was to get power to my phone and let it charge when riding (or anything else to that matter) as I have a quad lock and often use maps by byways, trails and green lanes

The issue is it's AC and I needed something simple to give it DC power. Id already removed the indicators and changed both the side light and main to LED which was both a lot brighter and energy saving

Next was to work out what the bike roughly produces in wattage - turns out to be about 80-85w

I only really needed 3a or about 36w but I bought an AC to DC converter at 5a or 60w which was more than enough and still would have enough for the trail tech dash (< 1w) side bulb 4w, brake light 5-10w and main light 18w

I thought I'd make use of the ignition blank and after a bit of oversizing it fitted the USB plug perfect

I ran the converter off the side light so it only works when I need it and have lights on rather than always running

Tested and it works great!
