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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Best mods for more road work

Hi I've only had my TE630 for a month or so and absolutely love it. A couple of riding mates have got 690 KTMs and they are having Rally Raid Adventure kits ( http://www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk...iring-Kit/ktm-690-adventure-fairing-kit-black ) fitted to make them better on the road. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what modifications I can do to the Husky? The plan is to catch a ferry from the UK to Northern Spain, ride through Spain ( approx. 1000 miles ), over to Morocco for 10 days doing as much off road as possible, return to Spain and have the bikes shipped back to the UK. Any advice would be really appreciated! Cheers Richard :)
 
All I did to mine was mount up a Seat Concepts seat, GPS and some Giant Loop bags and hit the road. Did 2500 miles in 5 days and it was awesome.
 
Sounds like an epic ride! You might consider a small windscreen, a steering damper (if you're doing much sand), and strengthening the rear subframe if you're carrying much luggage.

We look forward to your ride report/pics.

I wouldn´t go in for plastic fairings. Deadly when you drop the bike. Think the 630 is just about perfect the way it is (+ p/u kit and JD tuner)

Thanks for the tips. I have seen a screen off of a 690 Enduro that looks like it might take some off the wind blast off. Luggage wise I thought a Giant Loop Coyote might work along with a dry bag for tent, sleeping bag and mat.
Has anyone got any suggestions screen wise?
 
hi it will be a fantastic trip i'm sure,i really like my lynx fairing for long rides
