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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey fellas just wanted to share how I got rid of my stock front fender and head light. I didn't totally dislike the stock stuff to justify the switch without a good reason so when a fall i had a few months ago left the stock headlight frame busted enough to warant a complete headlight I decided to go after market. I bought the Trail Tec H2 halogen light with husky plugs($109.00) and the husky graffic ($9.95). The front fender is for a TE 310 wich is a straight bolt up and perfect fit( I couldn't figure a way to use the stock fender without making the headlight tower over the bars).When I received the light I immediately fitted it and discovered I would need to tidy up the wires high and tight then make some brackets to move the lamp away a bit from the heat of the light housing "after I test road bike I could smell the wire harness was getting warm after 5 minutes".... Just finished installing today and I am very pleased with how well the light fits and appearance. Light seems very secure and should take an xtreme front/side impact like destroyed the stocker ..... Here some pics how I did it....

Looks great !

Built the brackets out of lexan, virtually indestructible . Can easily unplug light wich might come in handy with my none D.O.T. Version :)

Holds the brake and speedo cable in place very nicely unlike the stocker.

If anyone interested in doing the same or simulare and would like some lexan brackets identical to mine or slightly different but same function hit me up with a PM.... Thanks for checking this out.
 
Genius idea with the brackets! I had this headlight on my old wr250x and it worked great. I broke the rubber mount strap though and needed a quick replacement. I found door hinges in my garage and the holes lined up perfectly lol. I never even took them off. Again though, yours look great!
