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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nomad add on tanks... We have them

Kelly,
I road around Johnson Valley with the Nomad tank on the 511, 40 miles of desert 2-4 foot whoops and the tank held its place nicely! The first few miles, the weight change took a little getting use to! :eek:

Tank Worked Great. I might be ready for a 90+ Mile dual sport run now! :popcorn:

Thanks Ken

Very cool. Thanks for the report. Mine has been rock solid as well and i have abused it.
 
Is ot OK to connect this tank into the crossover tube between the two tank lobes? Would one then need to use the main tank first and then open the bumtank to siphon through? Just trying to get my head around this. Presumably if both were full and bumtank was open it would want to push gas out the main tank?
 
Yes, the Nomad is above the main tank and drains into it. Works great but you have to make sure your main tank cap is good or it will leak. I went to the aluminum aftermarket one and it solved the issue with my leaking stock tank cap and zero issues. I did install at petcock to i can stop the draining if I need to.
 
I am planning on ordering one of these my next payday for my wr300. We have a bend trip coming up and are taliking 70 mile routes. My only question is if i mount it to rear fender would it interupt the signal of my trailteck gps antennae?(i have it mounted on the rear fender). I was thinking of moving it anyway so this might provide the motivation for my lazy butt.-lol

If it covers the antenna yes. I have several option here for your bike. Let me know and we can sort out the best option for you. You are more than welcome to come down and test fit a few of them and see what you like.
 
I still cannot see how these tanks will work on my 2010 TE310. Can anyone send me pictures or details on how this is done??
 
You need to see the beginning of this thread

ONLY way this will work on my 2010 TE310 is if I unbolted and dumped the fuel in or syphon the gas from tank to tank via cap vents. I have no cross over tube, only one line coming out of the tank to the injector. Now I can read the beginning many more times but without picture of the "tie in" or an explanation better than "it ties in" it will not work! My bike might be a one of a kind without a cross over tube so please explain better how to tap in.
 
Is there no external low pressure fuel lines anywhere on that bike?

- the tank is held on with straps, it would be EZ to unstrap and pour in but far from ideal obviously.

No low pressure hose anywhere. Like I said just one hose coming out of the tank. Only other item is the wiring harness. Might need to update "these don't work for the TE310 bikes"

ST Rich, might need that spoon because when I contacted them the reply was it just ties in, use the "T" in the kit. After explaining what my set-up was they referred me to Motorsportz.

I'm trying to help not be difficult. I dont have that model in from of me, if you say there is no low pressure line to T into it will not work. Thanks.
 
Have you had any experience trying to put one on a Gas Gas 2 stroke per chance? From looking at their website, tank #7 might be the closest match...?

Not really but if you give me some dimensions where it will mount I can let you know what looks closest to working.
