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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Caution on GPR Stabilizer Install on 610

I installed a GPR steering stabilizer on my '08 SM610 last year. Very pleased with the unit and has "calmed" down the front. That along with the fork compression adjusters from LT-Racing has transformed the front end.

A caution though regarding the GPR install. I recently had the 20A lighting fuse blow a few times. After the second time I figured it wasn't an anomaly. I removed the headlamp assembly and noticed one of the three wires coming out of the headlamp connector was worn through and shorting on the GPR headstock collar. There is virtually no clearance between this connector on the backside of the headlamp and the GPR collar that goes around the headstock. They are in line adjacent to each other. The position of the headlamp fairing is fixed by the two "fingers" on top and the screw which comes up through the front fender from below. I have since wrapped the connector with 3M fuse tape which is quite stout and hope this will prevent further abrasion through the insulation. Moving the headlamp/fairing assembly further forward would be the ideal fix but its position is fixed from above and below. The relative position of the collar is also fixed.
 
Yes is tight fit. I had to move dash out a bit also. Filed the holes that it mounted on so it had more space. Did not like the way it was hitting the GPR.
