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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Building 610 Dakar bike

Since I love my 07 610TE and KTM is not bringing 690RR I think that I would want to build a fun Dakar 610. I'm not racing but I want a bike just a capable.

So I have 07 610TE
- uncorked with jet kit and LV
- idle adjusting screw installed
- clutch cable mod
- pivot pegz
- TrailTech dual Xeon lights with a separate switch
- hand guards
- LED Baja Designs rear fender
- OEM rack
- Skid plate
- one down on the front sprocket
- Better than OEM battery
- wired for Garmin Zumo 550
- Dual rim locks on the back

I need:
- IMS tank
- steering damper
- raise my handlebar for 90% stand up riding
- re-do my suspension
- upgrade my stock seat

What am I missing? I'm riding mostly desert multi day trips but come back each day to the camp.

For a "real" dakar bike you need 200 mile range. I was recently told by a smart guy that means 200 miles of sand dune range, which is a bit more than you'd think.

Nope, that bike looks completely useless. It's practically a harley. You better send it to me and I'll 'fix' it and test it out for a few thousand miles...
 
Hey Huskyte610e, love your work. The beast looks like she is more than a showpiece, what do you ride her in?
