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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cover fit for the TE-610 - Dowco Guardian

Husqvarna
B Class
I just got the Dowco Guardian AT (adventure touring) cover and wanted to report in that it covers my '08 perfectly. The AT is the size designation.

It's a pricey cover, but my bike lives outdoors and I wanted a heavy duty, well made cover after having cheap $20 covers tear and blow away many times with my last bike.

Fits well, will cover the bike nearly to the ground, plenty of room if you had bags or small fairings added to the bike. No problem getting over both mirrors and bark busters etc.

Seems like it will have decent heat resistance too, though I've just learned to let the bike cool off after having melted more than one cover to various spots on my old KLR.
 
Some pics of the Dowco and the Kriega US-10 multi-pack that I also put on

The Kriega US-10 is a dry bag, roll top type. It can be used for a few functions, they also make a tank bag harness for it, but it's a bit wide for the TE I think, so I put it on the package rack. It also snaps onto the R25 backpack that I also got, very handy system they have. It is tied to the moto rack via nylon snap buckles on web straps underneath. Just takes a second to pop it off.

Here's the bag with the end open, roll type with snap type buckles that hold it shut. I had read somewhere where a guy stated it had to be removed to get into it...no clue what they were talking about. It just rolls open and you have access.

It's not the biggest pack in the world, but I'm avoiding getting into the Samsonite bloat I had on my old KLR. This should be more than fine for tool pack/wallet/phone/keys All the crap I don't want poking me in my jacket pockets.

The mesh on top is an open mesh pocket you can roll up and stick a shirt in etc.
