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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So....I have been off work for a whole month now, and have had lots of time to work on projects on my bikes. The weather has been somewhat more rainy than usual this year, so that kept me from rolling bikes out onto the driveway for any projects. But after the weather cleared up a bit, I tackled a couple of projects that have been needing to be done.
First off, the 125's exhaust has been especially slobbery lately, so it was time to repack that. I really hate this job, but it's either repack or pretend to be a millionaire and buy a new muffler...not really practical or thrifty, so repack it is.


Second , I had added wiring and lighting to my 125 a few years back, and that turned out pretty nice.....

....so I decide to do the same to the 300, which actually came with the "enduro kit" in a box when I bought it new, but when I later inspected the parts in that box, it seemed that some of the pieces, like hardwear mostly were missing. Rather than try to figure out what was needed to complete that kit, I decided to buy the inexpensive Polisport lighting components, a Tusk handlebar switch and a Cycra cable guide to build my project with.

I started at the power outlet from my regulator, and wired from there.

Into my freshly installed switch....

....to the headlight assembly....

....and from there, back to the tail light wiring. Then added in my ground wires and grounded where the other pre-existing ground were bolted up to the regulator base.
Slapped it all back together, and ready to go riding....if the riding areas ever open back up again. Gotta have a freakin' kitty decal to top it all off with too.

 
I cannot imagine not being able to get out and ride and also from what I hear at certain times also depending on the year bike you have ... green sticker / red sticker ... the headlight looks awesome ... something I’ve been wanting to do ... I’ve found this on Kijiji .... and thinking of buyin it .... but to tell you the truth ... the Polisport looks awesome .... right now I pack a headlamp in my tool pouch ... excellent write up .. does the Polisport attach to the fork tubes I noticed you don’t use the bottom support that’s used with the number plate.6B57D529-EACC-4B10-9435-18608D4220EB.png

The Polisport comes with various bits of mounting plastic, hardware and of course what I like to use, the mounting straps....as pictured installed in the photo below.
 
Nice rides - great choice. Good time to see you are still loyal to the brand . You allowed to ride or travel ?

Not so much. All parks, beaches, lakes, riding areas are closed in my county, but I know of some places to the north where a plated bike can still go.
