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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 quality

Ok - just went and had a look at the scoot ... the top hinge for the rubber strap is as suspected riveted on and the catch is integral to the battery box, as you noted. Giovanni ran out of rivets and then ran to an extended lunch?
 
Ah! Thanx for that. It´s where I put it. Not much bother but does show what to expect with the rest of the bike. Although I still like the 630 a lot, I would appreciate having Japanese quality combined with Italian design.
 
Even if Giovanni actuualy bothered to attach that little rubber strap properly, thats not enough to stop the heavy battery bouncing around when you are riding over rough terrain :doh:

I threaded two heavy duty cable ties down around the back the battery and underneath the cross member the battery sits on and cranked them up as tight as I could. That way the battery doesnt just hammer the sub frame to pieces as you ride ;)

Yes, I realized that the strap was not the ultima ratio ... will follow your advice and zip tie it down. But am also playing with the idea of getting an ultra light Shorai battery.
