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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Decal/Graphic kits

I ordered a set of graphic back in September from graphicmx, Just received them end of December, although they look great they are no way anyway close to fitting a SMS630. Not one of them will fit the bike. So would avoid.

Sorry to hear that, glad I went with rolls instead...
 
Yay or nay? Too much "bro" ?

BTW: Anyone need some TE630 fork guards? I bought some black ones off of Ebay, forgetting that the SM and TE had different guards...

If I don't like it, it'll come off a lot quicker than it went on :p

Don't plan on doing the WHOLE bike, so there will be some contrast...
 
I have been thinking of going the decal kit just to preserve my original plastics against scratches and fading. I was hoping that someone would come out with a kit as I am no artist!
 
My kit from Graphicmx has apparently landed in the country and I should receive it on Tuesday. Only 4 months later? Will it fit?
 
Knowing my luck it won't fit. Chances of getting a refund will be pretty much zero. I'll report back when it's here.
 
So it has finally arrived after 4 months of waiting and it's the wrong feckin kit! Anyone want to buy it in the UK?

I think I kind of like it. But I would like to see a pic of the whole bike with it.


Only done the headlight and number plates (not shown) so far, probably do the tail next, not sure about tank shrouds, but i've got enough if I choose to do them.

Also added some red pinstripe on some body seamlines, i'll take more pictures later.

I would have liked to have found a darker color scheme, but nothing was readily available, this is "midnight camo"

The nice thing is it'll come right off if I change my mind...

I will say that it's a lot easier to remove than the factory stickers.... I've been wrapping everything over the edge/lip, but if it starts to try to separate/peel, I'll just score it back to edge of the flat surfaces and peel the edges off. I picked up a little wheel knife from Hobby Lobby just for that.
 
Yeah I think it works. I would probably do the tail, tank shrouds and leave the front fender alone. If you're going to do it you might as well go all in huh? Especially since it's not permanent. I think RuggedExposure's Terra looks good all wrapped in tan camo.

As I suspected. It's all my fault and no chance of a refund. I thought the US was good with customer service. I guess there's always one that lets the side down.
