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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok so eventually got round to fitting the 630 light and fairing unit to my 610 - thanks to Huskyfly for facilitatimg the part. The 630 part compared to the 610 is chalk and cheese - 610 light is really Mickey Mouse and the 630 is H4, and the whole housing is also stylish, and very well made and thought out (by Polysport) with the front cover being a push fit etc. Is a relatively straight forward swopout - need to splice in a female H4 fitting but that is about it.

I also retrofitted the BMW Dakar screen I had fitted to the old 610 setup = I shaped the bottom of the screen to match the 630 light and I think it looks cool. One of the best smallish screens IMHO.

A Happy Husky! :applause:IMG_0775.JPGIMG_0778.JPG
 
that BMW screen looks great. How does it function at 70-80 mph? Where can one find something like that? Where did you locate the fasteners to secure it down?

Works great at speed and that is essentially why I did it - for the longer hauls. I managed to pick up the screen second hand from a friend - is from a BMW 650 Dakar (known as the three hole version, they changed to four holes in later models which should also work). Watch e-bay etc. as some guys fitted the taller version and sell off the original.

The fastners are simple SS bolts with nylock nuts and I used 4 or 5 rubber tap washers as spacers. The top two holes are placed right at the top corners of the white 630 screen - I cut off the lower hole on the Dakar screen when I shaped it and therefore drilled a new one slightly higher in centre - also just goes through to white 630 screen. It is important to have the rubber washers to space the screen away from the white screen as one needs laminar airflow under the screen to prevent bufffeting.
 
What did the light cost if you don't mind me asking? And was it a complete assembly or did you have ot buy a bunch of individual parts?

Picked up the light here on the Classifieds - basically new - think it was about $125 complete.
