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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Man I do Love that mirror set up Very sweet.![]()
I was thinking it might be good to flip the OEM clutch/brake mirror holder upside down so it wouldn't become a rain water/dirt collector
So I guess the 510,450,250 gets the four hole (for accessories....)and the 610 gets the three? (Kelly can probably answer this better...)

Shameless plug.Coffee;24513 said:Nice shirt!![]()

Can those HDB mirrors be adjusted in the vertical axis? Depending on one's angle of view I don't see how they can be tilted up or down. I'm curious how they work in that regard.Muddy Waters;23632 said:A little update;
Got a package from HDB
In it were cut to the teardrop shape deflectors (Paul had decided to try it and liked it enough to send me a pair to see how it looks )
and a mirror ( It's a seconds that was used to test glues so disregard the dirtiness and scuffs.......)

The first thing that jumped at me was the size of the mirror
From all the pictures I have seen I did not realized that the mirror is actually a decent size.....
As you can see it's almost half the size of the factory ones

Check the details on the mirror;

The horse shoe ridge nest nicely in the tear drop opening and keeps it there

The thumb indentation is there for you to help pop the mirror out of it's nesting place and is big enough for winter glove use
![]()
Here you see what enables the mirror to swivel and the little bump at the end is there to hold the mirror open
And the mirror goes in to this hole here;

How dose it look on the bike you ask?
Well I think it looks awesome.......

I can sort of see it now in one of the pics on page 1. I was thinking the pivot was more vertical in the open position and with them not looking infinitely adjustable that had me wondering. Looks like when open the pivot is in such a position it works well. Thanks!Muddy Waters;37825 said:What do you mean? You quoted the picture with the answer in it ……-->
Well, here it is again

All right, top to bottom (bottom meaning the mirror part in my hand)
The small ball at the top is there to keep the mirror in the open and close position
The bigger mound right next to it is the connection to the handguard, the mirror moves on the axes of that mound left to right, up and down and all around
The connection between the two pieces where you see the small bolt is where you get the main up and down movement

If you study the three big pictures of my bike on the first page you can actually see it working
Top notch I tell ya, top notch
