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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

It's eliminated!

This post is excitement driven and a little premature.

I have not completely cleaned up the edges, nor have I mounted the LED turn signals on the edges next to where the plate will sit. It needs about another half hour of work. But excited to test fit it too see if it will work well.

This my quick 40 minute prototype to see how this will look. I am up for making a better quality plug and making a mold for this, but making these past an initial run of 15-25 will be it.

Just curious what you guys think about this for a fender eliminator. I originally wanted to build it into the mud guard, but not possible given the room down there (and it would not be legal either).

Looks like your subframe is pissed, like my 511..

(In non-aussie terms, if you look at the bike from the rear the subframe is off to the left of the bike...)

Perhaps Guiseppe wasn't wearing his left shoe that day...
 
I think it looks good. Anything is better than the stock crap. That bright orange wheeled street bike in the those pics
seems to be the more attention grabbing element. Very nice looking bike, I might add. Both actually. :thumbsup: I like that flooring you got going in there too. I do see a yellow spot on your
lawn however.:naughty: :D
 
I still have the two aluminum tabs on my subframe from when I fabricated the dual exhaust (that is currently not on the bike). I have not decided if I am going to continue to run the single or finish up the slight bit of fabrication for the dual. I wanted to ride it, so I bought a cheap single exhaust (well if you consider FMF Q4 cheap, it was only about $300, so I do comparatively speaking).

I welded mounting points on each side, then how I have the bold through the subframe holding on the FMF, my rear fender plastics need some serious persuasion to fit (and still do not fit correctly)

The 675 is pretty stock minus all the non-necessary emissions crap removed. Merge collector to a straight pipe to eliminate the cats, flapper valve on intake removed, SAI blocked off etc. Unfortunately, I cannot sit on it for more than five minutes at a time right now, since breaking my femur in 2011. All maintenance done on it and it is ready to ride, just waiting for my body to catch up.
 
I think it looks good, I've been trying to sort out a nice "all in one" piece that will fit right on and have mounts for the turn signals. I have a SMR 511 as well and I haven't found anything that looks good on the bike. Stock is pretty terrible though and looks like a total afterthought (and probably was)

I like how yours is just one piece and mounts under the rear tail light.

Thanks. The little "side flaps" are to mount LED turn signal strips. I just need to order some, but that is the reason that part is there. I am up for making something for the Husky community (as long as it is worth my time). I can make pretty much anything out of composites. If you want to lead the charge for a design and have people that are willing to order, I will fabricated it, make a mold and do a limited run of products. PM me if this is something you want to do. I personally do not have a lot of spare time these days.

still have the mega bomb on it?

Of course. And the AutoTune works very nicely. I work from home, so I have to really really look for chances to jump on the bike since I do not commute to work on it. Still have a lot less seat time than I would like.

Where are you putting your Texas inspection sticker?

I had a section below the plate to mount it, but it looked stupid, so I trimmed that part too after loosely interpreting the law. It states that is has to be visibly mounted to the rear plate holder near the license plate. I am going to stick it to the backside of the mount, or it will actually fit right above it (but the whole thing will not be visible. So they can deal with that or deal with squatting and looking behind the plate. It is still visible, just depends on your point of view and your point of view on interpretation of the law. Personally, I do not care enough to mount that ugly backing plate on my bike.
