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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What are you guys doing for Luggage on the 630? I am sure I saw photos of a 630 with Giant Loop on it but can't seem to find it.

Interested in seeing any solutions here. Form Hard cases to tank bags and everything in between.

Racks too :thumbsup:
 
Here's an idea if you want hard panniers and have a large budget:

I have the Wolfman Enduro Saddlebags on my 610, and they work well. Giant Loop bag would be nice too.
 
I own a dual sport because I want to be able to toss it on its side and not worry too much about bike or body. Metal cans on the trail are an awesome way to snap bones and tweak frames.
 
Has anyone used a Giant Loop on a 630? Looking at mine I would think it would hit the can's. I am sure I have seen one on a 630 lol but I can't find it
 
Hey look, I'm stalking Tagati from ADV!

Giant Loop Coyote/Fandango is my plan for next year.

My opinion as well, but the original poster did ask about hard cases in addition to other options.
 
I would go to Giant Loop and throw them an email. Wachs over there is pretty responsive unless is is out on the trail somewhere.

Wachs. Geez. Sissy art guy gets frustrated by the gear out there and dares build something that works better for the kind of riding he does? What a jerk.

Well....that is another approach to getting his attention.

Although I would point out that this isnt the ADV Rider crowd so they may not know how all you arty dual sport guys stick together :)
 
Dave's a friend. His wife and I are showing together at a gallery in Bend. Opening is Friday night. :D
 
Oh great - Knary is coming over to mooch our guest room and out-sell all the Central Oregon painters again. Awesome! :cheers:


Haven't had a chance to fit the 630 yet. Our Husky dealer left town. But if it's even close to the 610, 510 or 450, our Coyote works great. On the stock fuel cells the Fandango tankbag works great too. With some of the tall, dry-break-style aftermarket tanks we have a new tank bag that is almost finished and ready for production.
 
Thanx for the link. I was very impressed with the bag and am certain the it would fit well on my Shoei helmet. But wouldn´t it be an impediment under low bridges? And I really liked the pic showing how you can sling it over your shoulder and do the strap up under your arm. Looks very much like a Russian infantryman at Stalingrad!

What about the Great Basin? Would that fit a 630? :excuseme:
 
Does ayone know if there is a rack or top box base that could be fitted to the 630 apart from the Husqvarna one which is too small?
I'd like to put a top box for my daily commute.

Can you tell me where you attach the rear straps for the tank bag??:excuseme: I just bought one of yours, and it doesn't appear that their is a simple attach point, like a KTM or most other bikes.

I just picked up the coyote and am trying to figure out where to attach the lower straps :excuseme: I pulled the passenger pegs long ago. I can make a bracket easy enough on the right side but it seems like every where on the other side I'm dealing with exhaust issues of some sorts. Do I need to bolt the pegs back on? :doh:
 
Got this from the Swedish Army. `Tis MUCH better´n the Brit. Army equivalent. Works better than you´d expect on a bike as the weight rests on the saddle.

If you have the passenger peg mounts (just the little hoop with the nuts embedded) and bolts, then add a piece of flat stock with the strap mount of your choice. You can slide the mount to several positions on the subframe. I did this to rig up an MSR can mount. Those little hoops are already made to fit the frame so they work great.

I plan on bolting a large piece of thick black ABS or aluminum diamond plate to the top of the Husky rack's top plate,
Or just swappibg a bigger top plate with the husky rack's.

Planning on using my Dirt Bags when thr stand off bars are out for the 630 as I already have the bags ...
