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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help with light bar mounting

Thanks Nev. Saw that but it would mess with my screen. May have to rethink and go for individual LED lights instead.
 
Not sure what kind of screen you have but if its the OEM one then there is more than enough room to fabricate something so that the LED bar would be in front of the screen right above the regular headlight.
I used a thick plate of regular weave carbon fiber and cut the brackets out of it with a Dremel. Then I mounted the brackets to the top triple tree clamp just like other TR650 owners did before me. Carbon Fiber barely fatigues and is extremely ridged, I bet it could hold a 2 kg light bar, you just need to fabricate a thick and wide bracket for it to reach in front of the windscreen. I have two SW-Motech full aluminium bodied LED off-road lights hanging on those brackets with no trouble at all.

You could build brackets that bolt to the lower triple clam, and have the light bar under the headlight.

In many states, aux lights have to be below the factory headlight, or covered while on the road.
