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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey all, I have been running a Polisport HMX dual LED for a few years now. Never any issues, until I broke it. One of the wires pulled out from the light itself, rested up against some other metal/frame and I smelled something funny and the light burned out. I got new one, wired just like the old one, and it immediately started to smell like "burning electric" smell. Then it died out a few minutes later. Any ideas? I don't really get electricity. My bike is just wired with stock (09 300) capacitor to the best of my knowledge. Would like to figure out what might be happening and get another LED on there. Tips appreciated.
 
It's possible that due to the first one creating a short the reg/ rec is damaged and puts out a higher voltage.
Best thing to do is put a voltmeter over it and see what voltage it puts out. However this can be inaccurate if it puts out ac instead if dc if the rectifier is toast.
Try fitting a normal 12v spare bulb as a test and rev it a few times, if it goes abnormally bright and/or blows there is a reg rec issue.
