Hey Giant Loop Great Basin owners! I've just got a Great Basin bag for my 610, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to tie the bag to the back of the bike. I currently don't have a rack on the bike to tie in on. Are you tying on to a rack, or are you somehow tying on to the fender? Thanks for the help!

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I don't have the great basin, but I do have the mo'javi and the Coyote.
I have them on the fender. I have a single link of chain hose clamped to the frame under the airbox on the right. On the left I have it looped around the frame. but it does push on the shock reservoir a bit so I'm going to move it somehow.

I have the GB and the Mojavie should be here today. I got it in the winter so have not used it but test fitted it to my 99 ATK 490. Two clips around the fender and the straps around the footpegs. Seems very solid. No rack and lays across the seat / fender.

I used a regular hose clamp, but I didn't really like it cuz it was too close. Then I got a fancy hose clamp at West Marine. I get a discount so it was no big deal but I think the damned things are $20 normally. I like it a lot better because it's solid, so it 'blends' better and it has that little arm that I can adjust however I like.
If I were to do it over I really like that muffler slider idea:

This is what I made. I got a piece of aluminium and bent it so that it attaches at the muffler bolts then has a 90' bend then follows the curve of the muffler but has about 3/4" gap between it and the muffler. Worked great on a three week trip. I have the Leo Vince which runs much cooler, don't know how it would work with the stock can.

Mine is super EZ to mount to my ATK 490 as it has large old school side panels and a semi standard frame to tie it to. Works excellent. hauls a lot of stuff and don't even know it is there. I'll take better pix but this is about all I have right now...
