• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Rack And Bag

any photos with the 1 gl tank mounted and do you have a way to secure additional stuff on top of it?

I haven't tried to mount anything on the tank yet. Probably because I also have the storage container for oil,tubes,tools, etc. I have some other views too.

Nice setup Capt.
I just got email from wolfman that they are not currently working on bars for the TE, maybe next year.
Dirtbags is reporting maybe in a couple of months.
TCI (the Borrego Rack) in interested in making a prototype with my bike but not for a month and then they'll want it for 2 or 3 weeks. Yikes! I may get a free one out the deal though. BTW, they have a 1-1/2 gallon rotopax style aux tank. Looks to be the same type of deal as a rotopax but it's square. They thought their rack for a 610 would fit but we've all found out the subframe mounting points are different.

So...the Touratech one...good looking rack although expensive. I'm wondering if a Giant Loop Coyote would fit on the seat in front of your rack and just the rotopax. I'm thinking it would move the seating postion to far forward. Got any ideas?
 
Confusing...I got this reply from Wolfman on August 1...

Should be ready in the next few weeks…check our website for details!

Oh my god, these guys are certifiable.
Here's the transcript copied from my emails to them over the last two days. Unfortunately I deleted his last reply, but it went something like this, "Go ahead and make alternate plans. If we get to them it will be sometime next year."
I figured hey, gotta look elsewhere so I deleted his last response.

I've unlinked my email for web bots.


Thanks for getting back Dusty. ​
Why are they ‘on hold right now’? Are you waiting to see if there is demand? If you’re not going to build them just say so, so we can make other arrangements. ​

The enduro bags are too small and the bags that go on top are too much weight too high. A setup with weight down low is the way to go, so expedition bags like your Tetons, giant loop, etc. are what everyone wants for these types of bikes. I know, you already know that. ;-)​

Thanks again!​

Hi Chris,​

Our racks for the TE630 are on hold right now. I am not sure of a completion date. Have you looked at our Enduro Saddle Bags and Duffle or our Rolie Bag System? These are also other options for the TE630.​

There are rumblings on the forums that you are to have a rack system for expedition bags for the new bikes this summer. Any word/update??​

GL is selling like hotcakes. Would rather do your Tetons and put a rotopack on top. ​

Let us know...​

Thanks!!​

Can you guys post here when you find out the Wolfman is ready? I pic mine up today :)

Does Dusty know something we don't about the 2012 TE630...?

For now, I'm holding out hope for DirtBagz...The GL products don't work for me since I like to have either no bag across the seat, or a removable one.
 
Got another reply from Dusty at Wolfman...
They need a bike to finish. I guess. I also found 'Berg's' website and it looks like he's actually the creator of their support racks. http://www.backroadsmoto.com

Here is my last correspondence with Wolfman Luggage:

That is exactly what we are waiting for…the problem is there are no Husky dealers close enough to either of us and they would probably not let us use a bike. We have the word out that we are looking for a bike but have not gotten a response. We need to do some last minute fit changes. The bike we originally were using got sold so we did not get to finalize everything. That’s where we are…hopefully something happens soon but we don’t know. Sorry Chris.​

Now I'm curious Dusty. If you're not working on them why was this posted two weeks ago on ADVrider.com?​

A couple of people from cafehusky.com have said you and at least one other contact at your company have both told them you're really close to having a product available. ​

Did the project just get shelved?​




Wolfman Needs a 630 for rack fitment.

Hi Guys,
Berg is finishing up the Husky Te 630. But we need a bike to do the final fitment. Preferably one in Colorado, Denver/Front Range area.
If anyone has a bike, please call me: 303651-6022
800/535-8131.
Cheers,
Eric​
 
the Husky bag is nice, although the fit to the Husky rack isn't as perfect as I would have liked, It is as if it is a universal fit bag.
 
@CJBROWN
thank you for mentioning TCI gas cans, I did not even know that besides rotopax others make them
I liked the rack design for TCI -- because it is wider than others -- naturally will let things hang on the side of the exhaust pipes of the TE 630

I do not mind giving my bike for 3 weeks (I ride another one now anyways) -- but it is in NC
