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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Winter Mantainence/Projects: 1st Season with Husky

Husqvarna
AA Class
Just finished summer with my first Husky, 08 TE-510. 2000 miles with 75 hours on the clock for Michigan trail riding. I am only three years into DS riding and hit 50 in January. I am an intermediate rider 6'1" @ 210 lbs. Have added a larger tank, bark busters, Uptite Skid Plate, -610 Rear Rack, but still have not added the PU kit, observations so far:

Would like to raise the bars based on my height.
About how much?


Looking to increase front spring rate as too much dive IMO, especially im Michigan sand, even with compression screws turned in.

Just ordered a Garmin 60CSx, what is a good reliabel GPS mount?

Am I on the right track? appreciate input/feedback/other suggestions to get me ready for Season II with the TE.

Raising bars

I am only 5'10", but I raise the bar on almost any bike. Currently I am 1 full inch above stock, this makes standing much more comfortable. At 6'1", I'd say you're very safe going that far, maybe 1 1/8. Can't help on the other questions.
 
I have the 60CSx and mount it to my 610 with a Ram mount from Toura-tech. I like it, i also used their wiring kit to hardwire it to the battery. It pops on and off very easy, i would buy it again, my only complaint is that the cradel holds the unit just a little too loose and it will rub and wear on the case while bouncing offroad, i simply wrap a zip-tie tightly around it so it can't wiggle and haven't had any issues.
