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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Windscreen/windshield for Husky SM610 w/ 1 1/8" bars

I posted this on ADV as well, but thought you guys might have some suggestions as well...

I've been searching for a windscreen for my Husky SM610 with no success. I like the MRA ST windshield, but it doesn't have brackets to fit 1 1/8" bars.

The brackets fit 7/8" bars or 1" bars. Do you think it would be possible to make them work?

I also found a Laminar Lip mounted on a TE610 that looked nice, but the SM has a different front headlight/shroud than the TE, and I don't think it would work. Seems like the hump at the top of the SM shroud might interfere.

Most universal windshields are for 7/8" or 1" handlebars, not 1 1/8". So does anyone know of a small windscreen that might be compatible with my bike?

As far as i know there is no such thing as 1 inch bars. :excuseme:

Some street bikes take 1" handlebars. I'm thinking if the brackets work on the 1" bars, it might not be too much of a stretch to modify them to work on 1 1/8".

The windscreen is a after market (zero gravity), for the Buell Ulysses. Its about 3.5" taller than the factory Buell, they are about $100.00. I think it looks pretty good on the bike and it really helps a bunch when you're cruising at 70+.

When I get a chance I'll take some pics of how I mounted it. It's basically using some snaps with a couple of small support rods off of the handgaurds, real easy set up that is quick release and will break away if you hit it from the top or behind (no windshield style decapitations).:lol:

That would be excellent. Your setup looks great--just what I need. I just installed Zeta handgaurds too, so I could probably use your mounting idea. My only concern would be that my SM headlight plate is a little different than your TE one. I'm getting ready for trip to Death Valley, and a windscreen would be nice. Not sure if I'll be able to get anything installed in time, but at least I can start planning for the next trip.
