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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear rack for 610.

I'm wondering what kind of options there are for rear racks for the
610. While unloading my bike from truck the other day I went to drag the
back wheel towards me as I've done a million times grabbing the rack
and the part that I grab onto broke off. So I ended up glueing it back
on with some strong glue for the time being.
I checked Motosportz website but nothing for the 610. Anyone know
of an aftermarket rack available for the 610's ?
Here's a pic of it after I glued the broken piece back.

I run a ProMotoBillet rack on mine, and I have the optional pannier protectors, too...

Here's an interesting one...

I know Kelly at Motosportz sells one, and it might fit the 610, but it doesn't say it does on the website, so...:excuseme:


I had to beef up the fender support thingy underneath so that it wouldn't break, as I'd broken the side piece right behind the turnsignals twice. No problems since :thumbsup:

The mixture of fasteners looks very familiar. :D
 
Thanks for your input. JCKid has a pretty cool setup on that SM. Definitely worth looking
into. Jerry
 
Thanks wally. Just checked out their website and they've got some nice stuff. Looks
like they've got a nice tailbag that straps on to the rack. I'm wondering if my Moose
Tailbag would bolt as easily as it does on the OEM Rack?

Sorry to hi-jack, but would love to find out what it would take to get my tail to look like this? Can't stand that three tier license plate holder, really ruins the looks on the ass end of the bike.

Love the build quality of the Pro Moto rack, but trying to find something a tad slimmer. I just need to be able to bungee down some layers of clothing and the occasional lunch I take with me on the trail. Not sure who TCI is, many of you guys use the business acronym's and some of us are still pretty noob with Husky aftermarket companies.

wish I could tell ya, but that is the PO's handy work. No idea what light it is, but it's pretty bright, not just there to be legal
 
TCI is Turbo City, Inc. Tom is the owner, and a great guy to deal with. Their website is turbocity.com.

Thanks for that, never heard of this company before. Will check them out as I need a rear rack pretty bad as the weather is turning quite nice lately and the road\trails are calling.

Nice welds!!----who did them. Have them PM me if at all possible. Thanks in advance, Sky Hy.:notworthy:
 
WoodsChick;90849 said:
They are beautiful welds, aren't they? The welder/machinist/fabricator/artist/magician that does all my stuff works out of an Alfa Romeo race shop here in Berkeley. He's never sent a PM in his life and I'm certain he never will :lol: He doesn't even know what a PM is.

Oh, alright then----a cali based guy--pat him on the back for me.:cheers:
 
Well I ordered my new rack today from TCI's website. Went with the
Borrego rack thanks to the pics of jckid's SM610, link provided by
Woodschick. Thank you both and thanks to Coffee for the great site.
God I love the internet. I'm hoping my Moose tailbag will mount on it
easily. I like the fact that it bolts on using existing side panel threads.
Can't wait to get it. Jerry

Hey Fasttrak, where in Norcal are you? I do a lot of trail riding up in
the Sierra's and am always looking for likeminded people to ride with.
PM me if you're interested. Jerry in Sac
 
I think you'll like the rack. I was orginally looking at the PMB rack, since I had a similar one (XR's Only) on another bike. But I ended up going with the TCI Borrego rack, and am happy that I did. It has worked much better than the XR's rack. The extra width works well. I have an expanding tailbag, and it works great on the rack. I guess the only drawback is if you need to remove the side panels, you have to unbolt the rack. But it's really no big deal, because you can just take out the two bolts, loosen the two rear ones, and pivot the rack up and back.
 
I have a PMB rack. I pretty much hate it. An elevated platform (aka the *!@#ing knee knocker) is unnecessary for anything but a big load - and this bike isn't designed for a big load. I have a plan in my head for a simpler and less obtrusive way to strap the day to day riding stuff and might have a friend make something up. I'll let y'all know.
 
:lol:heres a redneck sheepin rack...never been one for racks on dirtbike,
a day pack is all i ever use, but im not a dual sporter...
