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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trailtech X2 headlight review

Yes, I have it. The up side it it turns right on and off, no light up time. It is about twice as bright as the stock light but about half as bright as the HID. I run it on my TXC to be seen on the trail and use for getting home if I get caught on the trail at night. For racing the HID gets mounted up.

Thanks for the quick response Motosportz. The quick on/off is why I lean toward the halogen, but it all depends on whether it (or the HID) has a good beam spread for the street. Can you speak to that?

Twice as bright (or 4x with the HID I guess) as the stock is great, but if it's a small spot I'm wondering if I would need to add accessory lights, which I do not want to do. Also, are they easy to get aimed right? Enough adjustment?

This is not a DOT light so the pattern is wrong. I use it on my SM610 but only the 2" for street and the 4"+2" for highs which is GOBS of light, fine for 70+ rips in the back roads at night (I know nothing of any of this :>). Both HID and Halo are this way. I'm playing with some tape on the front light lens which modifies the beam, it works. Adjustment is done through a movable mount on the bottom, top is held by straps. I have had no issue aiming them on several bikes.
 
Ave you asked TT if they would make a version w/ the DOT halogen low beam and an HID hid?

Seems like this would be the ticket!
