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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hour meter set up on TC 449

I am a new "old" guy here with a lot of experience working on all types of bikes, but this one is a bit different.
I want to install an hour meter on it, but have run into issues doing so. I have read the other post on this site and have researched the net for a solution, have tried some, but still I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried the wrapping the wire around the plug boot below the weather seal with 5 wraps and that did not work. I have tried some other things that did not work either.
Does anyone have a solution?
Will it maybe need to be hard wired instead?
If so, where?
The fuel pump?

Thank for your help!

Motominder meters will work off any electrical signal.
I hooked mine to the fuel pump relay output wire.
Meter counts whenever the pump is running.
