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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New NOMAD 4.5 litre tank for 2012-2013 TE449-511

Yes, the nomad is connected to the main tank via the breather line on the main tank. The Nomad empties first through the main tank.
 
I'm pretty sure Kelly will fix me up with a refund or exchange, if not, then yes. I will not be using this on my 2012.
 
Ok; how easy is this to remove and reinstall? I want one but will only use it during longer trips and don't want to have a huge hassle of removing it. Also, can someone post a photo of the fender without the nomad attached - in other words what does the bracket look like when nomad is removed? Or is it just attached with bungie cords?
 
It's easy to remove and install. You do need to trim the flange of the rear fender near the fuel cap so the hoses don't get pinched. A small mounting bracket does stay on the fender, but it is just behind the fuel cap and is not a big deal. The tank works well, and you really don't even know it's there when you are riding.

I get it now, due to the nomad being higher it will drain first and not backfeed into the tank either due to using the breather line.
 
It will scuff your fender a little, especially if you ride in sandy / dusty conditions, so if you are really picky and want a show bike, it might not be for you. My tank is full, so I did not want to take it off, but here's a pic showing the front support with the tank installed on my 2012.June 1 2013 148.JPG
 
I don't mind trimming the fender; I don't want a show bike but I don't want something that looks weird when the tanks not on... Hey I also notice u have a FMF ... I ordered one and a PCV programmer ... And I am thinking of getting the auto tune as well ... What are u running ?
 
The dealer, Gateway BMW, said he did an ECU update in December 2012 when I bought the bike, I have the power up plugged in, so I'm on MY2012 Race MapII.
