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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Check it out, PN 059072 (about $60) installed on my 2009 WR125. Some cutting required but it looks good. Is this the taillight I read about getting moisture in and failing? Everything looks pretty well sealed to me.

It's not as well sealed as it looks. I've replaced the light assembly on mine because of corrosion. On the lighter side though, at least it's not expensive. I was thinking about ordering another one just to have a spare because even though they are pretty reasonable they don't ship all that fast.
 
I have had the same one on my TE450 for over a year with zero problems, You just put to much water on yours Rajo. :D
 
Cool...I trail tested it yesterday in some greasy NC red clay-no problems. Does it need any kind of sealing or maybe the lens taken off to dry after washing?
 
Mine failed after a few rides in wet muddy condition. Baja Designs sent me a replacement, which I used clear 100% silicone to seal around the wire grommet and the edge of the clear lens where it's glued to the back plate.

I haven't had a problem since then.
 
I've used 3 of them, when the third burnt out I replaced the LED with a Whellen emergency strobe LED, way brighter and has been on my '05 for years with no issues although you have use a resistor to dim the light for your running light. I just installed the same setup (BD dropdown and Wheelen LED) on my '09 TE. Maybe I just tend to abuse things because I have friends that have used the BD LED without issue for years but if it does crap out on you the emergency LED's are about the same price and much, much brighter. I did get pulled over at night once with the setup, the cop said he couldn't see my plate (too much angle on the dropdown), he said he didnt know if it was legal or not and then said goodnight without even checking my liscense, insurance, etc...
