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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a TE250 and I'm looking for a medium sized bag that will attach to the bike, either on the fender or headlight assembly. Only needs to be big enough to carry a couple of water bottles, camera and a few tools. I used to have a bag that mounted to the headlight plastic on the WR but I don't remember where I bought it. I think senility is beginning to set in! :)
Thanks
 
I recently put a Wolfman Enduro Toolkit bag on the rear fender of my TE510. Appears to be well made, neat mounting base, but I have no personal experince with it yet. Friends that have it really like it (& a gift certificate) convinced me to try it.

The bag I had been using and found very durable, is the Chase-Harper Universal Fender Bag.

I had a blue one on a XR350 for serveral years, then transfered the faded thing to a '94 DR350 for another 13 years. It was still holding up well enough that when I gave my old DR a make over in spring '06, I washed it, dyed black and bolted it back on.
 
Dirt-bike-gear gets my vote also. I have the medium rear bag and a front number plate bag. :) Ken
 
moose racing has a good selection, you can get them through parts unlimited. ive had one for a few years and its holding up well.:thumbsup:
 
Ront Fender Bag - Weight?

I'm carrying two tubes and three Motion Pro aluminum tire tools in one of the Wolfman bags. I mounted it on the front fender of my 08 TE610, but it seems heavy so I carried on the rear rack.

However, I'd like to carry in on the front fender - anyone have experience with how much weight is too much to be supported by the front fender?

Just reviving this thread--if anyone has pictures of how they mounted the Wolfman enduro tool bag (the rear fender bolt-on one) I'd be super appreciative if they'd post 'em! The TE rear fender isn't as flat as the bikes shown on the Wolfman site, so I'm looking for ideas...

Thanks!

I centered the base on lengthwise along the rear fender, marked & drilled it, then bolted it down.....the velco attachemnt on the Wolfman hold well and the rear fender with the extra weight has been handling the abuse I can give it well.

I'll try to remember to get better pics of base plate mounting when I get home and post them

RLW--installed mine today, yippee! Thanks, your pictures really gave me much more confidence before taking the power drill to my fender. (Why I'm not afraid of opening up engines, but leery of messing up plastic, I will never know...)
