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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Safari tank and rad guards

Does anyone have a safari tank on their te630 with radiator guards?
I'm asking because i want to get a safari tank and not sure what to do about radiator protection (ive already bent the outside of one of them from dropping it onto rocks, luckily no leaks)

do i need rad guards? the tanks wings look like they might offer some protection from dropping it, but is more protection necessary?

thanks, hope someone has some advice
 
Not on a te but another bike i had a oversize tank and it did a good job of protecting the radiators from drops.
 
The Safari tank to me provides very adequate protection. Much improved over stock. Some have even said they are concerned about it causing the bike to overheat since so protected. I haven't found that to be the case though. Rad guards not required with the Safari IMO unless you were riding very gnarly single track all the time but if that was the case you probably wouldn't add a Safari tank anyway.
