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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

To all you guys fitting bigger screens to the tr, my headlight assembly rattles around at 110kms per hour. As In I can notice rattles on the indicator mounts and Speedo. What's it like with an aftermarket screen?
 
I have the factory windscreen on mine, and I don't think it changes things. Occasionally while I'm going over rough stuff I look down and see that whole assembly rattling around. I don't know if anyone has broken one, but I can't help but think "this is made from the same crap as the rear fender". I wonder if those of us who go off road a lot will find these breaking. I really hope not. I hold 80-90MPH for distance on occasion and it moves, but have become unconcerned about it just because it hasn't broken yet under some harsh circumstances.
 
I inadvertantly answered some of your questions on a recent post. The Madstad windscreen uses support braces that makes the headlight/fairing assembly very stiff or shall I say supported. I am currently trying to figure out the correct configuration to keep wind buffeting and headlight glare (from the TR) to make this work.
