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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got The Voyager GPS mounted up...

Nice radiator and I have my sensor mounted about the same place on my bike ... The device shows my water temp at ~251F degrees when the water boils over ... Does your bike boil at about the same shown temp? What about your running temp just cruising around on roads or trails?

I had to take it all back apart again I didn't like the way that I had the power hooked up, so when I did that I decided to put the temp sensor in. Just a couple more pics, and this thing sure has some cool features.I just have to learn how to use it now.Oh and I decided to post a picture of my garage assistant, he's a big help.View attachment 15996

just fyi out there....I stopped in at trailtech Friday and asked some general questions. My wr300 is wired straight up to the main power(which supposedly is ok). Theres a screen called "user" that you can see what voltage your at from the bike. I was at 20 at low rpm's. The tech there told me thats a tad high and I should get a voltage regulator for $15. So I did.

I would think you would want to run a voltage reg no matter what when powering anything.

I was going to but when i called one of the techs said "sure it can handle it" then i discovered that user input screen and followed up on what I was seeing on it. Sincei already have blindlyt told others "sure its fine" too-lol

Ray I'll give you a little better report after this weekend. The club I belong to is hosting an enduro this weekend so I should be able to get a better idea of where my bike normally runs as far as the temperature goes. I know I shouldn't say it but my bike has never boiled over, I came close in Virginia before when climbing babyhead and loose rocks uphill for a couple hundred yards for lack of traction. The fan usually comes on at about 215-220F.

Ray my running temp seems to stay below 200 for the most when running down the road or 2 track with moderate elevation changes, of course all of this has to do with ambient temperature. I ran over to a friends house yesterday all blacktop roads until I got to farm where he lives a little trip through the woods and creek up a few field hills and over to the house avg. temp 186 degrees, high 213 and I think the high was when I shut it off.

Thanks .. That sounds about like mine, maybe a little lower ... I guess my bike is OK ..I was thinking maybe my radiators or something was causing heat build up at all times when riding...

The "triple clamp" bracket here should work perfect for that.

Kelly, will this mount work for a Vapor/Vector on a 2013 WR125?
