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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky Genuine Rear Rack

How much did the genuine husky rack cost?

I got it as part of a ride away price, but the retail price is listed on the invoice as $342.15 as of 21 June 2011. The part no. is 8000H4205 Luggage Tack TE-SMS630

It's been great for my humble needs, i.e. day rides only.

Thanks Russ, I think I'll just keep using a backpack!
 
I also looked for something like this for my '08 TE610, but no such luck. I ended up getting a Giant Loop 'Coyote' back. It seemed to be an easy set up, and I knew I didn't need ALL of that space. But I needed something for the LA-Barstow to Las Vegas ride. Big mistake, that GL bag was too freaking huge and I didn't even pack it 1/2 way full. The bad part was when I was riding kinda hard through the whoops section and bottoming out the rear, the right side of the bag was being rubbed by the rear tire. Messed it up 'cosmetically' on the inside:( . It is a sturdy bag, but for our little 610's/630's, I'd go with the smaller GL's or some rack mount like the one above. Just upset that they don't make one for the 610:mad:
 
Chicken,
TCI makes a cargo rack for the 610. A medium rolie bag works great on it, and you can even add a rotopax or kolpin pax for extra fuel, put the bag on top.

The GL Mojave would have been much better suited for LAB2V.

Here's how I run mine:

Wow, that looks really nice. Rear mount looks great, seat looks after market/clean. Is yours an 08 TE610 too. C'mon man? Just one pic. More pics please of the whole bike. Also, I've been beating up my plastics. Just put on a new front left side fairing the week before LA-B to V and guess what? Did a gravity check to the left side and busted it. Where do you get your plastics? Thanks in advance. Oh yeah, are you northern Cal or SoCal?Rea
 
Russ - you posted a rack for your TE 630:

I just purchased a 2013 TE511. Do know where I can look into getting a the same rack?

Good luck with that here is what I've found http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/PN-410-5450/Luggage-Rack-Husqvarna-TE449-511 this bolts through the plastic tail, seems no good to me.
here is the one i'm banking on

http://nomadic-racks.com/news this is supposed to have brackets, but is not out yet he said about a week capacity is limited to 10 lbs rough riding though im not sure exactly what that means for street/logging roads?

The 630 rack was included in the Husky 2011 Special Parts Catalogue, in which there was no equivalent for the 511/449.

The 630 rack is very similar, if not identical to, the one available from Touratech at the time, so perhaps they may be an option for you.

Regards,
Russ
 
I bought the rack at the same time I bought the TE630 new from Trooper Lu's Garage in June 2011. It's a Husky genuine part as included in the 2011 Special Parts Catalogue, part no. 8000H4205 Luggage Rack TE-SMS630, retail price then $342.15.

I understand Trooper Lu is handing back their Husky dealership, so don't know whether they could still source the rack. If not, R&D Husky in Penrith may be able to, as they seem to be the only Husky dealer left in Sydney.

The rack has been excellent for my needs.

I believe this Touratech rack is the same:

Do you mean the attach points or ??

It bolts onto the same plate the grab handles attach to, replaces them.
 
I see that, but I also see a "U" shaped tubular section going under the tail section...so I just wanted to see a more detail pic of what is going on below and under the handle mounting points.
 
Camera is not working for shite...new one coming next week. Maybe I can get a pic or two tomorrow.

Dirtbagz racks fit on with some mods. What else are you hanging on there? Did you make the plates to reinforce the sub? If not, don't put anything on there.
