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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tool tube installed - TE 630

Hi all,
I installed a tool tube on my 630 yesterday. I took an idea from a KLR forum and used an owners manual tube that I bought from an agricultural supply company:

I installed it at the same time that I installed the Nomadic Racks subframe braces and re-installed the passenger grab handles that the prior owner had taken off.
I made a couple of 4 X 1" aluminum brackets that I attached to the right side exhaust mount and the rear-most attachment for the subframe braces. Hopefully, they will prove strong enough (my tool roll weighs about 4 pounds).

Nice. One of the reasons I want a single exhaust, so I can use that space on the right for something like this.
 
Can't tell how you have it mounted but be aware, the plastic mounting tabs are known to snap off those tubes. Some use hose clamps around the tube to mount.
