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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

After market handlebar control switch

Hi guys,

Is it possible to replace the OEM handlebar control switch on a TE 630 with handlebar control switch from Ducati or other after market switch similar to the ducati's?

Reason I ask is this:

on the TE 630, the horn button on the handlebar control (LHS) is located above the turn signal switch. From bottom up (IIRC) turn signal, horn, hi-lo beam. On my Ducati Monster, the horn button is located at the bottom, the lowest position, under the turn signal. From bottom-up it's horn button, turn signal, hi-lo, and display mode switch.

I want the horn buttons on both bikes to be at the same location so I don't accidentally push the turn signal swith when it's the horn button that I actually want to push :D

Sounds stupid I know... but it happens to me all the time :banghead:
 
hehe - you should add an F800 into the mix!

I find the horn / indicator switches on the TE very close, I sometimes clip the horn when engaging the turn signals. One interim solution may be to mount a separate horn switch. It would be cheaper and simpler wiring, and with reduced cognitive overlap between the two configurations it may be easier to switch. While you are at it you could replace the Husky horn with something less wimpy (do others also think the OEM horn is surprisingly heavy?)
