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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Heroes Ride Huskys. The others follow.
I gave my TE 630 some more air to breath. I wanted to clear away more but had to leave the fasterner grommet in place. I didn't want to open it up below the protection of the side panel. So this is how it looks atm. IMG_4228.JPG IMG_4229.JPG IMG_4221.JPG
 
My stainless mesh hasn't showed up yet (should be tomorrow) but when it gets here I want to do something like this to mine.

Awesome work MASTER_E! That looks great. Much better then my *cough* hack job. Your 630 will not have any shortage of air. Are you planing on getting it back on the dyno now?

Yup, once I can get it out for a couple real rides and let the AutoTune do its thing. I could feel a difference between home and work so I know it was doing something. Kind of excited to see it on the dyno again.

I did the same thing last night... Removed the snorkel and enlarged the opening (SM 630). It definitely feels less "choked-up" when I get on the throttle. Simple to accomplish and a definite, small improvement... Enough to put a smile on my face.

After my little ride yesterday with the opened up airbox I'll have to ride with ear plugs from now on. WOW is it loud. I knew it would be but daiumn! Not sure whats louder the exhaust or the airbox...

With the snorkel removed and hole enlarged, mine is a little louder.... But nowhere near needing earplugs. I can actually hear a little engine noise now at 60MPH + where before I couldn't... And that's a good thing. I really didn't like *not* hearing the RPMs at highway speeds before the mod.
 
looks good...can you show us how you attatched the mesh??......i thought of doing something similar using a filter sock but like your idea better..

any word on the mesh or how to attach it? is it a dead match for what is on the fender?
 
I've ordered a warp9 kit and plan on 99% street riding so no...

And frankly if you're riding the bike through water that high it wouldn't matter if you've opened the box or not... water goes into a snorkel just as well as it would any other hole.

I just use bridges :D
