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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any Interest in a 630 Sidestand?

The fix here would be for you to have an angled/wedged foot (or bigfoot even better) made out of polyprop that allows for the changed angle. At least yours is not too short. :)

Thanks for the idea. I'll try to fab something up this weekend athough the stand is not high priority atm.

Perhaps the best thing for you would be to ship the foot loose and let you weld it there. An inch lower or higher on the suspension is probably not an issue, but two? Keep in mind that unless you always park on good pavement the "ground" is seldom precicely level.

Well, it seems like 2" from stock height...Never measured it. I prefer to have a flat base than not have it, so yeah, please ship the foot loose. I'll get it welded it up level with the bike. Thanks!
 
Just seen this, I would like to put my name down for a stand please, I have a brother in Highlands TX you could deliver to.

Thanks John.
 
With paintman the list is full for now. I'm taking the last "new" stand so that's twenty. As for status, waiting on the machined lugs, then I have to get the stop plates made. After that, they can go together; a couple of weeks at the minimum. Thanks to everyone for being patient, and I will keep everyone updated. Hope to have a final price shortly.

I appreciate the frequent updates!

Looks like I'm a bit too late. If you make another batch please count me in.

I probably have enough material to make a few more but my machinist has finished the first run of lugs. Let me get these together and I'll see how many more I can put together.
 
I have a cost to put these together although a few items are still estimates. I don't think the final price will vary much though. Price per stand, $132.00 plus shipping. You will need to use your existing springs and link plate. Stands will be primed and painted, but not powdercoated, to keep the cost down. Anyone who wants to powder coat on your own, let me know and I will ship bare metal. Do not pay at this time as I want to get the stands together first, maybe two weeks or a bit more. I would prefer Paypal and I will provide details when they are ready to go.
 
OK folks, here is an update. We start welding tomorrow, and with luck one day will get all of the stands put together. Once that's done I can give everyone a final price. 'Had a real heart burn on this last week due to actions of my machinist. To make a long story shorter, instead of doing the work himself, he subcontracted it, without confirming cost or talking to me. Grrrrrr. The cost to me was 4x the price originally quoted! I could have let him eat it, but he is literally a Mom and Pop operation, and has always treated me very fairly in the past. I have decided to absorb most of the increased cost and do these for actual cost to me, mainly because I have gotten a kick out of doing it. SilverBullet will be helping out too as we will be in production mode and the extra hands will be appreciated. Everyone on the list has first dibs on the stands but I would like to move them out as soon as I can. As soon as the weather cooperates paint will go on. Those on the list will get first call for several weeks, and then anyone else who is interested. Stay tuned.....

PM Sent for naked kickstand. :)
 
Stands are complete. I will start a separate thread and list those who have spoken up. Without counting there may be a one or two more, but there will not be any more! I do have to paint, but it's raining so I'll look forward to sunshine on Sunday to do that. Those taking their stands bare can procede. Look at new post for details on ordering. My part is done, now it's yours! Oh, the price is $145 plus shipping via UPS ground. Thanks to all for being patient on these.

Sorry to read about that dealer not coming through with the delivery of your new bike. Why not start searching for lightly used one?

I just came to the end of the time and effort I am willing to put out to get a TE630. I also realized I wasn't comfortable supporting the Husky brand after how my situation has been handled. Picked up a 2010 KTM 690 Enduro R on Sat.

TE630 is obviously a great bike, and this site is a gold mine for Husky owners. Especially with people on here like Ken willing to build custom sidestands! Truly a great community here.

End threadjack.
 
Anyone know if i can get a replacement stand .
Only have my 630 a few weeks but the stand is crap . I put a 1.5mm steel strip in to stop it going forward to much but getting the stand up or down is tricky as i have to lean to bike way over to the right everytime .
 
Stujam, if you don't find one of my stands, and you probably won't, your best bet is to buy a stock steel stand for a TE610, as I did, and modify it like on my prototype. I'm still using that stand and didn't even save one of my "production" units for myself. All were sold. It just takes a bit of work with a hack saw and some welding to get it done. Look at my earlier thread to see what was done. With the 610 stand reinforced and the length corrected you will be happy with the result. I think I have some stop plates in a box somewhere and I could get you one of those. I welded a stop tab onto the frame on my bike but the stop plate is much easier. Of course you could make one of those too; hack saw, grinder and a drill. Just little elbow grease goes a long way.
 
I'm in as well if you ever do a second run, the stock one is a piece of a crap. Wish I could find a centre stand...
