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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

LED front light!

How does one order from Up Tite. When I go to the site all I get is pictures, but no prices or ordering info.

Also the LED light is not on the sight!
 
George is old-school. You'll have to call him, and he'll probably send it COD.
He is also on this site "Up-tite" so you could try PMing him...
 
1 714 540-2920

As far as I remember there is a small stack of the lights in his shop as of last thursday. Just call and he'll send COD and explain how to give the guy the check. By calling him he'll explain the wiring and options for hooking up, although it's pretty straightforward.

Also has the larger, more powerful light but not sure if that fits the stock opening.

9-6 pacific time.

How are the LED lights holding up for everyone?
Also any update on the hi low version of this light?

I have a 610 mask taking up space in my garage, and am thinking this would be a great light for the TXC.

Ive run the LED for over 4000 miles now. We had a couple bikes with them from Tecate to Cabo. Thousands of miles offroad, and they havent so much as blinked. 100% perfect. Both 510 and 610.

8 Huskys to Cabo, 2-3 hours nightly for a week. The LED lights got raves from everyone. I had no problem up to 55 mph off road at night, and up to 75 mph on road.

IMO they are the perfect compromise: Lightweight, compact, plenty bright, good price, super durable, and even a pinch of bling.

Two thumbs up. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
+1.

I have the Lynx HID, and I like it a lot, but only cuz I got it cheap second hand. New it's nearly $600 MORE expensive than the Up-tite. It's also quite bulky and heavy compared to the up-tite.

People with the stock light were WAYYYYYYYY back behind the guys with the Up-tite LED.

A good light makes all the difference in the world. The stock light is crap. The up-tite one sounds very good. :thumbsup:
 
And my ity bity stock headlamp has burned out, and only the 3 watt bulb remains - that is dim! :lol:
 
Does George's light fit in the new 2010 headlight fairings?



Ca anyone post exact dimensions of the LED light.

Thanks
 
I don;t think you can dim a LED. They are solid state, on/off.

You'd have to turn off several of the bulbs, which would change the light pattern, and you'd have to mod a circuit board.

Google dimmable LED lights. Not sure HOW they work but they call them dimmable.

I called him up, he gave me the info I needed - I ordered it up - he sent it COD. stuff arrived in 2 days. You can't beat that for customer service.

check his math though - the old guy adds up stuff by hand for hell sakes!

light is first rate!

I am pretty sure you can drop the voltage to dim the light. I would think that a variable resistor could act as the dimmer devise

That same guy can freakin' haul ass on some pretty rotten terrain! Then he'll fix your broken stuff at the gas stop. I hope I can be that good before I meet my maker.

Just sayin out of respect.....
