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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got my 06 610sm a month or so ago and the key drives me nuts. It's a little key that is almost impossible to turn with gloves on. Not that it takes force but it's just too small. Does anyone know of a longer bodied key?
 
005.JPG with the lynx fairing was hear impossible to get to,got a blank & welded an extension & cut some weight out of it & this works great
 
My rox risers make it even harder. Sorry I cant find a pic (yeah I know worthless without pics) but on my SMS630 I used a 3" piece of 3/4" auto heater hose. Stock key inserts in one end of the hose (squashed so the key just fits) then has a small hole drilled through the hose with a 3/16" bolt to secure the key. To keep the other end round I screwed in a 3/4" PVC end plug. Took all of 5 minutes to build two. Cam.

You're a life saver mate, that has been driving me nuts. I tried putting some pipe over the stock key and hammering it flat, but apart from looking inelegant it really doesn't have a consistent grip on the key. I'm going to roll with your idea....Any idea what key blank is needed for a 630?

Cheers
