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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yet another broken rear fender.

installed the new OEM number plate holder and a plastic plate holder from Hall's plus the BRMoto side rack, now solid as a rock. I'd still like Husky NA to admit that the number plate holder # 8000H5322 is a failed unit and supply my with a new free OEM unit plus the cost of # 2ea 800073832 red reflectors, 1ea 8538462 tail light @ $64. plus Maine license plate @ $7.50, plus Maine inspection sticker @ $12.00 plus my time. Think I'll ever see it? I doubt it! I keep trying, spoke with Pops at Motofit today in Danbury CT about warranty issues, he make me feel optomistic at least.

You can do what you want, but the TR650 rear fender, and *eventually* the TR650 OEM top rack seems destined to fail at some point. Personal opinion only.

Update: My rear fender broke. Not sure if it was the 33,200 (53,430 km) rough miles. Or the latest of 5 or 6 crashes. Or a combination of both. I just noticed it after the last crash though.
 
I cut mine off, moved the lock for the seat to the left white cover above the exhaust, installed a cheap slightly modified plate holder from Amazon and replaced the turn signals with something of my own design. Still passes yearly inspection here in North Carolina.
