Naw, a shitload of aussie's on the adv forum. That and their bits, kit, nacks, and bloody everything.
Stone the bloody crows, what are you Septics on about? Fair dinkum!

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

So, I bit the bullet and bought the Leo Ti system for my bike. What I didn't want to do is put that ugly GL heat shield on it, scratching up my pretty Ti can. On a $400 slipon, I can deal with it.
After some deliberation, I decided that I'm going to try a couple of muffler sliders to keep the bag from resting on the can.
I'll let you know how it goes. The exhaust will deliver today, and the sliders will arrive early next week.

For mirrors I found three excellent options, all at about the same price point. I'm leaning toward the 'Double Take' mirror because it can be folded down easily, adjusted to best position, is the right size, and can be completely removed easily. It uses a RAM MOUNT ball with a 10mm stud that goes into your stock mount, then the RAM adjustable mount, and finally an ABS mirror head. Very nice adventure quality setup. Next is the OEM folding KTM mirror as my second choice, similar reasons, and they are the best price. Last is the KTM 990 superduke mirrors - they look good and have a nice shape, lower profile, high quality. My hesitation with these is that I think they stick out too far; are less offroad friendly.
EDIT: BTW, the Double Take mirrors are guaranteed for live. You break 'em they'll replace 'em. How can you beat that?
- http://www.doubletakemirror.com// About $92 shipped
- http://motoscience.mybisi.com/product/73808/KTM-OEM-Folding-mirror-243-or-280mm_326342.html This seller also sells on ebay. Would do the 243mm ones, $42 ea or $84 for two, shipped.
- http://www.ktmworld.com Use the oem parts microfiche and look up a 2009/2010 990 superduke. You need the adaptors too. About $102 shipped.

Off the main topic here but........I ordered the Moto-science mirrors, just like the look of them a little better, plus the price was a little less. I'll report back once I install them.

Wow, that's an old post Paul.
From a year ago! I'm still getting by with the stockers - haven't bent or broken them yet.
I was bored at work so I was catching up, doing some past homework.

Cool.
We'll be out near Bishop this weekend, riding White Mountains. If you're looking for a ride event we've got one.
Hmmm........that sounds FUN!! Let me look at the calendar as my friends wife just got her first bike and I gave her a couple simple lessons a week ago and now her hubby said if I don't come back to give her more lessons he may not get dinner again.
