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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I was looking for a plate for the license at Vance and Hines in Whittier and as we got talking he said I might want to rig some DOT reflectors because of some people getting pulled over for not having them. I rigged these from a metal plate I got at Home Depot and bent tabs to receive the stock reflector that comes with the bike. If I had time and knowhow I would fabricate something that would be a slot molded to the V shape of the back end, slip it on and the Revit it on through the predrilled holes.

That is clean all tucked up under the tail light. Is that a one piece holder that you created or can you buy it.

Ebay I found an electronic relay that is plug and play for the 2011 TE. Supports LED Blinkers.

A day later after you asked me that question, my blinkers went out. Haha figures. So I replaced the flasher unit with an electronic one. I could have ordered an expensive two wire flasher, but I wanted to find one locally at an auto parts store and make it work. This way if I ever need a new one in a pinch, I will be able to find one easily. They now work great, LED's front and rear and flash at normal speed.
Also, the color coding for the rear signal wiring is blue and brown, blue being negative and brown is positive. But! The front is opposite, brown is negative and colored wire is positive.
The one I used is a universal EP-35 found at Autozone for $12.99.
Zip tied to the original location.
Large wire on the far right is an added ground wire that I ran back to the negative post on my battery.
Wish I could actually see thee pictures still. Would help tremendously to figure out which wire goes where! lol
