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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Which wire to tap into for grip heaters

Got grip heaters for my WR300. Its all wired and installed except the "tap" for the power. I see a Yellow and Blue wire going to the Headlight. Can I tap into either or...:excuseme:?
 
If you actually ride much, i would throw away the little tap-in connector that comes with most grip heaters. It cuts part way into the wire, so of course the wire fatigues and breaks there a few months later. I would cut the headlight wire, strip both ends and splice (and solder) in the hot lead for the grip heaters.

yewah, just noticed how cheap they are.
 
OK so its all wired in Correctly. I was extremely anal about it and know its right. Just let it idle for out 5-7 minutes and didnt noticed anything with it turned on "hot" Should I in that time or do I need to ride it to noticed it?

You will probably need to ride to get sufficient power. Also, they do not create a lot of heat. Your hands on the grips will help.

Did you measure across them before conecting their wiring to the bikes to see if the circuit is complete?

Another idea is Hippo Hands. The sledheads and quadtards have been using them for years. My son and I use them for winter riding. They are great, even in -15C! !:thumbsup:
 
I didnt have it grounded right. Works now. Thanks for responses. I can already say its awesome just riding around he cold yard. So now going forward all new bikes will include..skid plate,hand gaurds, suspension job,steering stabilizer and now grip heaters. Best dang improvment for the least amount of money.
