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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone have any pics of a Terra (or Strada) loaded up with Pelican or similar style cases? I am in the market and am curious how they look. Struggling between the Wolfman set-up and Pelicans.
 
The choice between hard cases and bags depends on what kind of riding you do.

If you are mainly on the road and less likely to be dumping the bike in technical spots, go with hard cases.
If you do plan on laying the bike over occasionally, go with soft bags because they cushion the fall. Hard cases can cause frame cracks and busted mounts.

See 'Long Way Around'. Their hard cases caused some problems.
 
Hello
I have put a Kappa Monolock over rear rack. I need it when i go work from Mo to Fr

And you can put it off only with the key to use the bike more off on weekends

I have the Nomadic Rack installed. I read something about OEM rack and its fragility
 
Santi,
Did you have to drill the Nomadic rack to mount the Monolock adapter? I went with the Nomadic as well....
 
I mounted a Givi SW-Motech plate .... I find it amazing and I think also pretty stiff, so far no problem then we'll see.

Looks like the additional bracketry from side & top bags really would stiffen up the stock rear rack.
I like the "duct tape" frame guards in the first pic

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Not sure I like the look of the Pelicans on this bike.

Honestly, I don't think Pelicans look good on any bike. But, they are some of the most durable and functional cases you'll ever own. I've been abusing Pelicans for over a decade now, and on every continent but Antarctica. I have never had one break.
