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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Front Fender for my new TR650 Strada

Hi, I bought a new Husky Strada and I'm very happy with this machine. I had a scooter before the Husky and the difference is amazing.
The only thing I don't like is the front fender, I would prefer a higher one. I found this front fender in internet and I think it's prettiest one.

If anybody knows how can I get it or have another fender similar I would be very grateful.
Thank you!

Hey mate,
This one has come up before. Don't think we ever worked out what sort of fender it is in that photo. Probably a one-off produced for the display bike.
 
Not sure what was bantered before, but that sure looks like a stock TE630 fender with some stickers and maybe some black paint on the back section to me.

I couldn't find out what it was, sorry guys, but you found it :D (Thought it was Zupin custom, because the guards at the bars are. )
It helps the bikes face sooo much!
Nice looking bikes lads!
 
No doubt, those are the best looking. But for street bikes, it is good to have a low front fender that you can hang mudflaps (as close to the ground as you can) from to prevent flats.

The front tire stands a bent nail, that is laying flat on the road, up on the bent edge, and the rear runs over it (well over 95% of flats are on the rear.) Since I have run with mudflaps, I have not had a flat unless I ride past the edge of the sides of the road (being stupid in a hurry.) There is random chance and charmed lives involved here too, but I just thought it was a relevant issue for the street bikes anyway. If you get 3 flats in a row in a few weeks time, you don't know what is going on. Dealers know this and they love high front fenders (with a big grin on their face.) ymmv.

Of course, I'd replace those odd Strada front fenders too, but instead with some nice front-full fender with mudlaps on them. But if you have the time and money, or are very lucky, never mind.
