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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My TE610 Screen Fix

BiG DoM

Husqvarna
AA Class
Ok so I wanted a bit of protection on my new 610 without going over the top ... thought I would like a BC Lynx but lots of $$$ to import to this side of the pond and not sure I want the extra weight ... still deciding. So anyway in the meantime a friend of mine gave me a BMW 650 Dakar tinted screen - definately not in mint condition but could be finessed a bit by yours truely ;) - and I thought I could make it work. Measured up - looked GREAT and the three standard predrilled holes seemed like they could work for the OEM Husky screen. Marked and drilled, created spacers from small rubber bushes (need space between the two screens for laminar flow otherwise will get buffetting), SS bolts and Nylock nuts ... and all on track. Fitted it up and went for test ride. Not stable enough just with the rubbers on the forks... so I created two small aluminium tubular supports from existing pre-tapped holes on the bottom of the steering head to existing locating tabs on the bottom of the OEM screen (at the same time I relocated indicators ... but they may well go entirely for ones integrated into handgurds). At the top I first created a template from cardboard for a alu bracket that would use the existing screen mounting holes and brace the screen to the instrument cluster bracket, then bent and predirilled it. Also drilled it for bolting a RAM GPS ball mount. Rivitted the bracket to the cluster bracket and bolted screen. Works superbly - it just pushes the air to the top of my helmet , looks great IMHO -virtually OEM and I like the shape of the screen with the Dakar lip. :applause:
