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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pics of your 610!

Nice looking machine! Did you turn around at the bridge or keep going to the coast? I've found Stewart's Point (and all the other goaty roads out there, like Tin Barn, Hauser Bridge, etc.) to be more fun on my 610 than Skaggs, but maybe that's just because I rode Skaggs on sportbikes for so many years :lol:

Thanks!

I was coming *from* the coast. Froze butt and fingers off that day - it was about 50-55ºF all the way from SF to Stewarts Pt. It got considerably warmer as I went inland and, even though I had thought multiple times about turning around and heading back into goattrail land, I decided not to go back there that day. I'll be back when its warm again. Right now I'm planning on riding around Napa and East Bay until it warms up or until after I figure out my heating situation... yes yes, I'm a wuss.

Once upon a rainy Saturday morning:

I'm not completely sure how I fit that thing into an elevator on the way up, because Mark from CC Rider had to do some serious wiggling on the way down.

New turn signal (these are Kellermann LED lights) + bars + bark busters peeking:

Looks good Bill.
You should have just traded me the full 18/21 setup from my TE :-)
Those are good looking tires.

Nice! I like the adjustable sidestand...it looks like my cane :D

Any clearance issues with the 21" on the SM front end? What size MT21 do you have on the back? I've yet to try out that big ol' rear tire I got from you a few weeks ago, but it'll be on there for Thanksgiving :thumbsup:

So it is a front 17" -> 21" swap, leaving the rear 17"?

Adjust the forks up in the tube a bit?
 
STD

We just run them pretty much flush at std height seems to work,we have dropped thenm 1 inch with this set up with no problem.
 
Interesting, I've read that a 21" wheel on the SM forks would allow the tire to contact the underside of the fender, and not just slightly, but dangerously.

So did you use TE forks?

Did you shorten the travel of Sm forks?

Or is the previous information I read, not true?

Or something else?

Steep inclines, won't get past 2nd gear, rocks, a 3ft deep mud puddle with a bump in the middle and lots of switch backs all the way.:D
