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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lic plate garbage removal TE 449

Can't help you with yanking your junk off, but on my TE310 I pulled the whole license plate frame and blinker thingy off and replaced it with a rubber flapper type plate holder from Bills. I replaced the rear blinkers with HDB billet LED units, and installed HDB hand guards with integrated mirrors and LED blinkers up front. Very happy with that setup.
 
Let me help.


Remove the seat.

Remove all the screws (Phillips) attaching the white rear fender to the black piece underneath.

Remove all the bolts for the side red plastics, and remove them completely (helps, trust me)

Remove all the bolts under the tail/fender area including the one holding the kick stand rubber stop, and the corresponding bolt opposite of it.

Remove all the remaining bolts that you can access holding the plastic rear tail/license plate/taillight on.


Slide the white plastic tail rearward a bit then pull the taillight out and remove the connector.


Remove the white plastic entirely, then remove the bolts securing everything to the sub frame for the black piece. Get the entire tail/license plate/turn signals disconnected then throw It in the garbage.


Put everything back together then drill some holes in the license plate and secure it to the plastic fender under the taillight. Cut any excess fender off.


Done deal :)

How do you yank that junk off ?
Relocating blinky's seem easy enough.

Here's mine. Hacked it off filed it so it was nice and clean. Bought a plastic license plate holder drilled 2 holes in the little bit of tail that I left and bolted it on. Looks super clean, gonna mount turn signals to sides on the white plastic tail, the little flat tear drop ones. image.jpg
 
I took mine off the easy way. Looped it on the pavement. Bits and pieces of that thing went everywhere. I built a custom bracket for the plate and bolted it to the remaining little piece of plastic that was hanging down. The blinkers are $20 amber LEDs from cycle gear. Those took some time and demeling to get mounted that far back (cali regs state rear blinkers must be at least 18" apart)

Exactly what I needed to know. Finally saw e two screws holding bracket in place-figures all the bodywork needs to come off lol. Thanks guys!!!
 
I took off all the junk and mounted my license plate vertically, looks a lot better. I'm in Southern California (not noted for being particularly lenient for all things DMV) and haven't been stopped yet.
