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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dakar style front fender?

Does anyone offer the lower mount front fender for husky like the Dakar Bikes? With the higher fender I get reflection and blind spots at night. I am still undecided on the headlight/shield combo for my new 610I do have an 8" round 90/100 headlight that I had mounted on my xr650 and it was great. I ran this bike without a front fender to test and was very pleased with the results. I may use this and I have two windshields, one small (works great in tight areas) and a larger one that provided max protection. The large one makes life nice as long as you stay on moderate trails and will be used for longer trips. The lynx fairing looks great, however is pricey and I also own the other stuff.
 
I have a low front fender from a KTM 640 Adventure that I bought from someone who converted to a high fender. It fits OK, but the rear braces aren't long enough for the available threaded points on our 610's. I think it will be simple to lengthen them with some additional plastic, but I haven't done that yet.

The one that Ruffus listed might be a quicker solution.

I couldnt find one when i built my Dakar 510.

I have a custom made fiberglass low fender for the 45mm forks, if that in any way helps.

I tried the german importer, who has a picture of one, but never heard back.

You could also ask Ben/Johan with their Dakar finishing Husky, but thats gonna be for the 50mm forks.

For baja racing we all paint the top of our front fender black, so it wont reflect. A bit of tape around the light too.
