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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

GPS models and mounting methods

I'd like to hear opinions from guys who have used a GPS on their dirt bike. What units have you had sucess with.... durable easy to use ect. Also, how'd you mount it?

I'm thinking of riding the LA-to-Barstow-to-Vegas dual sport in November and while they suggest simply using their roll chart, ( mandatory), I might add a GPS. Never used one on a bike.

Thanks, Dave in Delaware
 
Hey Dave,
Just a friendly reminder about the search bar at the top. I typed in GPS and got quite a few hits. Might be worth some back reading never know.

I often start threads with, " I did a search, but.......". This time I didn't, but yes, I did search. I entered: GPS...., got, "too short to search". Then: mount GPS and got one hit. A thread from BRP about a mount he's working on for a Garmon60CSX with 40MM bolthole spacing. (Maybe I need more search training).

I didn't mention I'm using a TrailTech Vapor now on my te450 mounted in the bullet proof case, replaced stock speedo. While their new "all-in-one" looks nice if it displays any data in small fonts as my Vapor does I can't see it and so it's useless. ( Well not useless, but I'm not about to ride with reading glasses under my goggles.)

I can see everything on the Garman I have used in the car but yes, it's a 4.5" color display. Is that what everbody else is using on dirtbikes?
I doubt I'll use a ram mount .... (thinking I'd make something that tucks in behind the TrailTech thats cushioned.

Whats everbody else using?

Harmon 60Csx and a ram mount have worked OK.

There's a newer 60C model available but you'll have to decide if it's worth the extra $$. 60Csx is reduced in price right now
