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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

To be honest, I never adjusted the windshield from where it is in the photos. The bike was very tiring at highway speeds with the stock setup. The Lynx is a huge improvement with the air hitting around the helmet, my helmet is in the airstream but no noticeable buffeting.
If you mean the large hole on the bottom right side of the dash, you're correct, it is for the ignition key and frankly, it could be bigger to accomodate gloved fingers.
I meant how it's at an angle. Ian could've drilled the holes a little further left for clearance. The wires aren't long enough to go up so he probably compromised:
I was limited as to where I could mount the Zumo. I would have liked to mount it in the center of the dash, but the only way to do that would have been to use 1" stand offs and the Zumo would have over lapped the computer. In the end, I used 1/2" offsets and mounted the GPS off to the right side. Ian actually sent me a spare ABS dash with no cutouts to design my own dash, since he recognized how tight the dash would be with the Zumo mount. The compromise with my setup is that the Garmin can only be removed with tools from the mount since the mount release is blocked by the nut holding the dash together on the top right side of the dash. I'm OK with that as it makes it that much harder for someone to steal the Zumo.
Really? Did you have your wheels balanced? Mine shakes above 135 or so.
