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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

And here's my TR650 Earth!

Finally I managed to mount all the accessories that I had bought. Here's my customization of the TR650! You like it? Advice for me?

Megatiker. Amazing Earth.. congratulations.. just the windshield left..
I wonder top box capacity and the OEm rear rack safety to carry on longer. mine is giving problems of vibes and fragility. Check it, please..
OEM REAR RACK, polimero. Mal rollo. likes so much mirrors and panniers..
i like most the central stand by SW motech?
did you check the crash bars??. because I order ones
 
Thanks Guys! The trunk is not mounted directly to the original rack. L SWMotech provides a stiffening plate which is mounted above the original roof rack. Below takes two shaped plates which press the plate between the original swmotech and platelets themselves. Of course I will not use the trunk to make off-road. I believe that this structure for road use goes very well. However, I will communicate any problems.
The mirrors I found them on ebay.
the trunk has a capacity of 52 liters. Unfortunately, the side cases is not able to open because of the width of the trunk. But taken down in 10 seconds, then I do not find to be a problem so terrible!

Grazie Ragazzi! Il bauletto non è montato direttamente sul portapacchi originale. L SWMotech fornisce una piastra di irrigidimento che va montata sopra il portapacchi originale. Sotto prende due piastrine sagomate che pressano la piastra originale tra quella swmotech e le piastrine stesse. Naturalmente non userò il bauletto per fare fuoristrada. Credo che questa struttura per l'utilizzo stradale vada molto bene. Comunque vi comunicherò eventuali problemi.
Gli specchi li ho trovati su ebay.

Just to make sure you're aware - that TT headlight cover is not street legal in Europe. Not that cops bother much, at least over here... I think its essential, after I got healight destroyed on my F800GS and paid ridiculous monies for replacement. Just rememeber to take it off while you take the bike to technical inspections.

That luggage setup frightens me a lot, but its up to your preference (friend got his ankle caught under side case while falling, breaking it badly). I dont use topboxes ever, only for commuting. Instead - I prefer rollie bag or tail bag - much better weigth distribution.

Nice bikes those Earths, anyway :thumbsup: Maybe some Euro summit for TR's is on order next summer :)
 
Yeah I know that is not legal. I hope I do not stop and if you disassemble very quickly .... is mounted to a pressure, is not bolted. For the danger of the sidebars I also have a bit of anxiety. I hope nothing happens like this.

I did not understand your last sentence
 
It's missing the dirt! Now that you pampered it to death, go put some miles on it, looks like it could handle a few! Besides the screen, you may find the seat to be a PIA!
 
I noticed the mirrors and hand guards right off. Love em. I would put a radiator rock guard on it yet. Don't forget your swingarm and steering plugs.

That is the first kickstand I have seen on the Earth. Nice, Very Nice.
 
No heart is a botched translation of the translator of google hahahah .... It had to be TR650 Terr.a. The caps on the steering head I put them, it's not nice but it is very functional. Thank you all for the compliments. Clete thanks for the compliments in my language, expect to see your bike when you arrive accessories. I also installed the heated grips, are original, someone had noticed? ;) Now I will start to make us a little 'off-road. In January, I definitely want to try the motorcycle rally Elefantentreffen anyone know her? I put here a picture of this crazy rally! You say that I'll survive;)?
Finally ... Guys this forum is super cool! You are great!!

Please educate me.
Is "Earth" a term used for bikes similar to "Adventure"

The TR650 Terra. Terra is a scientific term for Earth, Terra Firma. When Mega uses the translator, it translates the Terra to Earth. I kindof like the name, and so now I think many will be calling his bike Earth. I believe he won the nickname fair and square.

Weather on porpoise or not, it works for me. So when Mega translates this sentence it will read rather obscure to him, as I used a spelling that does not reflect well (accurately) in the translation. He will be reading about dolphins and rain. LOL,

Sorry Mega
 
Thanks Guys.

I didn't even think of the Terra vs Earth translation.....Duh.
I was thinking it was perhaps a Euro slang for Adventure type bikes.

It makes more sense when you compare the names of both TR650 versions.
Made in Italy so they've used the Italian word.
Terra = Earth/ground/terrain Strada = Street/road.
 
The mirrors have taken them on ebay, I put the link above. ;)
These a little 'details. Do you see the double reinforcing plate for the top. SWMotech I think he did a great job. The caps are rather trivial caps taken at the supermarket.
