• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 scored a BD dual 8" hid setup. Now I need to get my 07 te450 stator rewound by BD. Besides the regulator/recitifier are there any other things I need to think of? My only experience is with halogens.

Thanks in advance, Mike

- edited. I thought I read halogen. That thing will be a flame thrower.
 
We'll have to see some pics when you have them up and running.
Should give you a fairly good panoramic of light

The guy you are passing who just turned around for a quick look is now blind. :thumbsup:

Aliens on other planets are monitoring your average speed.

Various desert animals just came out of hybernation. :lol:

Dual 8 inch HID are now sort of considered 'overkill' at the Baja 1000. They are heavy, and put out so much light that they create a mini 'white out' effect from so much blue light. We all raced with them for a few years, but most racers now prefer to have smaller HIDs for weight savings, and a more 'yellow' light with either a hybrid halogen/HID, etc.

Not dissing the lights at all. Just saying they are so hard core that even the fastest guys cant out run them. :)

To save weight/improve light color, you can always retrofit one light with 100watt halogen and a electrosport stator.

Some work on your front brake line routing is probably your only issue. enjoy. I ran dual BD HID's on my baja race bike Huskys--they never let me down.
