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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Hardwiring a GPS?

You will need a Rectifier / regulator and a battery pack, small one in the air box. This make "clean" 12V DC which you will need. You might need a stator, i can't remember if the Wr can be wired for Dc or not. I think not and will need rewound or replaced. Call Trailtech.

Dao- sounds like way to much hassle for simply remembering to carry spare batteries. Thx

Yeah, that's what I think as well. My GPS runs for several days off of two AA batteries. I just pack a few spare sets and I'm good to go.

Mine is even more simple that I would just need a PowerLet plug for my HDB top clamp and an adapter for my GPS. I'd rather just pack a few batteries.
 
I like having mine wired up, back light is brighter and you never get 3/4th through a ride and find out your bats are dead.
 
If i'm not mistaken the Wr's have a 120W AC alternator. you could probably get by with using the stock regulator and just use a 4 wire rectifier and mount that and the battery in the air box. Shouldn't need to replace the stator. I'll get around to trying it soon. I've about got Project DS WR complete.
 
I've got a 3700maH battery in my airbox that I use for the GPS and the horn. Charged it once this spring and haven't touched it since. You can get away from the reg/rec and wire straight to the battery....

The problem is you need "clean DC"
 
Got it; here we don't need the light to come on independently of the motor so it was an easy solution for me. The battery is a Trail Tech unit that I have mounted in the air box. You could then do as Motosportz suggested and wire up a reg/rec. Trail Tech sells one that will work fine for you.
