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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Luggage for the TE's.

Heroes Ride Huskys. The others follow.
We have Tour Master TB-17 Tail Bag's we use on our DRZ's with racks. I wanted to use them on our new TE's. I didn't want to drill, cut or modify the rear fender or any other part of the bike to accept the luggage. So I replaced the rear turn signal bolts with eye bolts to have a hook spot. I put the 1/4" x 2-1/2" eye bolts in a vise and bent then to where they looked good. I ran the front bungie's cross ways under the seat. The seat fit's fine with no interference from the hooks. The rear bungie's hook into the turn signal eyes. We have some lashing straps we use over the top of the bags to secure them from the flex of just the bungie's. I prefer a (sizeable) fender bag over a backpack. Time to wash the bags I think.
