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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So what do you do when you get a new bike?
You take it to pieces!

I didn't like the location of the horn in front of the radiator - it looked poor, so I decided to move it:

Off with the plastics and the tank. Horn and bendy bracket shown, with the wires disconnected.

Thread the wires past the headstock. Then extend them by a few inches. These are a bit long, but it makes it easier when I take the headlight unit off.

Out with the hacksaw to lose a few ounces of Italian tin. A random hole of a suitable size drilled ready.

A corresponding hole in the headlight unit steady, shown filled with a bolt from the workshop floor (its where you find the most useful stuff)

Horn securely mounted out of the way of mud and crud.

Connected up, ready to be fitted properly.

And now it's gone!!
 
Nice idea. Mine has come loose on the trail twice. I tried threadlocker but it still comes loose. The stock mount seems like an after thought.
