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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Talked to John @ JNS Engineering about a chain guard for the Terra/Strada. They do skid plates and chain guards for KLRs & DRs. Sure it's a bling item. A clear anodized guard would look pretty spiffy on the Terra/Strada. Just comparing the guards they do for the other bikes, I'm guessing these would probably be in the $50-$60 range. I'm sure they won't require a very big qty. to start a batch.

Here's their link http://jnsengineering.com/
 
Wow, that makes two....:)
We'll give some more time, and then give JNS feedback, see what he says
 
Just so everyone is on the same page, this would be an aluminum replacement of the stock unit.
 
This will help

I would much rather have a guide as well.
Like i said the guard is definitely a bling thing. Where as a guide would be useful.
John from JNS was talking about powdercoating the guard, i'm not into that, got to be anodized.
 
I've had a BRP chain guide on hand almost since I bought my Terra but have yet to fabricate a mount for it. BRP makes both left and right hand guides for Huskies. It comes down to welding on or bolting on. The swing arm is a squished five sided affair and that is a bit of an issue for a home made mount. Weld on is probably the best. Some day.....

As to the chain guard, it looks great, but unless it is made from pretty thick material I would worry about fatigue cracking.
