• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Side Markers

My co-worker comes by and says, "Well, at least I know nobody vandalized your bike." What?! He went out for lunch and found 1 of my yellow front fork side marker reflectors laying on the ground. When he got back from lunch, he found the other side laying on the ground. Both front fork side markers just fell off from the heat, apparently. Anyone else have this happen?

I found some 3M super molding tape at Autozone and cleaned off the old stuff from the markers and the forks real good. Put the markers back on with the 3M stuff. Hopefully that tape is better than the original stuff.
 
When my local dealer got their first Terra demo bike in, I was the first person to take it for a ride. About 1 mile from the shop one of the front reflectors fell off. I have been meaning to take them off my bike. I don't see any point to them.
 
111° here....both markers were laying on the ground next to the bike. Eh, I was thinking of removing them anyways :doh:
 
Is this an obligation in US for new bikes to have those markers ? I got them separately, being told not to bother about them at all.
 
Dang, all the hassle I went through to pull mine off the WR300, and get all the adhesive off, and your's just fall off? AGH!

I don't mind the extra visibility on the road, but why oh why they put them on a full on dirt bike? I have no idea.
