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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky TC 449 (2011) - Road Legal / Snap off Enduro Project

Hi all,

New to the forum although have had many great pointers just browsing around.

I am embarking on a project to convert a TC 449 to a road legal (not daytime mot) bike. The electrical wiring will be such that I can change the bike into an endure version by taking off non-essentials (indicators etc.) by just changing the plastics.

I have everything required from the TE and SM models to make this a Christmas tree for the road including lights, radiator fan, Trailtech vapour, indics etc., but have one outstanding item, the infamous kickstand which is absent from the TCs.

Does anyone know of a bolt on kick stand which would work with the TC or am I going to have to resort to a frame weld job?

The other option I was thinking about was creating my own but mounting it on a solid metal tube inserted into the frame and bolting it in that way. (There is a plastic cap which you can pull off which covers the horizontal tube).

To add to this, just so folks don't go off on one, I ride this bike in London, so I wont have to tolerate its behaviour on a motorway or long commute. Its riding for the sake of fun riding, not for fuel efficiency or arse cheek preservation (you can complain when you wearing a bag later on in life).

Thanks

Iain
