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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dark, looking good :applause:
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...)

:thumbsup:

What kind of accessories go there? I was hoping for some kind of filler panel or something. I guess if I eventually get a TrailTech Vector I could put dash lights in there.

Thank you Woodsy
I’m somewhat limited with my dirty options right now, till March 1st when things open up round here
Other then that… yeah you’re right , I did get myself a van for the toys so I really need to start looking for good places outside the islands to ride on…

Rajo; I hope you don’t mind me referencing your ice maker? ;)

:thumbsup:


Nope, feel free to plagiarize all you like.:D

Even better :applause:
( it looks like the 610 set up is different, you can flip it without massing the stuff on the other side :excuseme:)

:thinking: --> Handgrip warmers, auxiliary lights, garage opener.......that's were it stops for me cause I have only three holes on the 610's top clamp
You on the other hand have one extra hole on your 510's top clamp and the possibility's are infinite.......:D
If for now you want the filler panel try with Paul, I've seen it on the bikes in his site so he must sell it or know where to get them
Motosportz might be an avenue of expediting things?

:thumbsup:
 
Anyone have a straight-on level view/picture? Not at an angle? Basically, looking right at the front wheel, light and handlebars?
 
I would like to see a replaceable plastic slider, similar to a Cycra so the odd racetrack get off doesn't grind the aluminum to dust.

There you go, you can have your pick;

1. No plastic deflectors ______________________________________________________ 2. The WHO quadrophenia look? ;)

3. Original HDB look, mirror open _______________________________________________ 4.mirror closed

5. Deflectors cut to tear drop indentation


Don’t forget, you can get them from this cool dude <-- :applause:

:thumbsup:

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.......)

IMG_6539.jpg


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

IMG_6521.jpg


Check the details on the mirror;

IMG_6522.jpg


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

IMG_6530.jpg


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

IMG_6529.jpg


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;

IMG_6541.jpg


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

:cool: --> Motosportz has started carrying them and might be able to offer nice deals
So if you want a pair drop them a line at motosportz@gmail.com

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.

What do you mean? You quoted the picture with the answer in it ……:excuseme: --> :busted:

Well, here it is again
IMG_6522.jpg

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
IMG_6529.jpg

If you study the three big pictures of my bike on the first page you can actually see it working

:notworthy:Top notch I tell ya, top notch

:thumbsup:

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!
 
HDB Aux wiring setup

Hi guys,

I need some help please....

I just got my HDB set and I'm amazed at the quality..... Paul is also a true gentleman, and has customer service SECOND TO NONE! Awesome......

Has anyone ventured so far as to actually wire up the aux. holes on the HDB top clamp?

I'm keen to set up my four holes like this;

LED's - Red GRN GRN GRN
AUX master power - Aux 1 - Aux 2 - Aux 3
Push Button boots -RED BLK BLK BLK

I hope someone on here can point me in the direction of some schematics for wiring it up so that the whole panel is inactive unless the Master is on, and each functions independantly when it is.

I also want to enable the LED bank to show when each Aux is live.

The kit I got came with LED's, resistors and push on/off switches, but can anyone help, or point me to where I can find out how to wire it, without going to trade school... :)

(or would I be better off just making them all independantly powered?)

Here's some pics of how it looks, oh, and the new Husky Speedo Protector! :)
