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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just loving this motorcycle. Great bike for street and gravel exploring. Upgrading as I go thought i would list them here. I am not one to use a bike for big camping trips or hauling so no crash bars, racks, cases stc as for me it takes all the fun out of riding a bike. What I have done is upgrade the controls and protection so I can do some gravel and trail without fear. Also working on getting more power just for the fun of it. So...

Real bars (my favorite Trailtech ones), taller (Motosportz mounts) and much stronger. Find them far more comfortable.

Enduro Engineering hand guards. Mounted really well with these bars and clears everything. I did drill the inner mount hole on the right one further in so I could move the inner mount to clear the brake resi...

See redrilled mount hole here...

Zeta hand guard shield with blinkers built in. Will be removing the stock ones and wiring these up.

Seat concepts seat. Liking it better every ride. I love their seats but this one was not a huge improvement the others have been. Very good but the stocker was pretty good to start with for me.

My skid plate / Frame connector and add on front protection which covers all the hoses and cables.

Nice set up Kelly looking good.:thumbsup:
You have everything that needs guarding covered in my books.
Well except the rad thus the engine bars.
 
When you first came out with your skid plate, there was some talk about the production of 'wings' to add some additional protection to the engine. Is the splash guard pictured a prototype of something that may be available to those of us that are running Motosportz plates?
 
Kelly, you're killing me showing off those bar clamps all the time! I'm drooling. Are you planning to make more? I'm sure there are other buyers out there as well. It's simply the best looking option if we want real bars on the Terra.

My web site sucks, sorry, need to fix ASAP. I do need to build more. Was kind surprised at the lack of interest when I built the first sets so was not inspired to build more fearing they might sit on the shelves.

I think your problem (if you can call being first to market with a product a problem) is that you had these things so early in the life cycle of the bike that there just weren't that many people with Terras in the wild, hence the low demand.

Could be.
 
Just made another upgrade / change. Removed the mirrors and put some wide angle ones under the bars / switch gear. Rode a buddies street bike years ago with this setup and it works well. I did loose some long range right behind me view but gained a lot of side and passing angle view. I think I like it from my short test ride. Will post pix later.

Well, that's completely understandable Kelly. I'm curious, how many units do you have to make in a run to make it worth your while? 20? 50?

Maybe we can get a pre-order list together of those interested (and willing to pre-pay), and see if there's enough interest for a run?

30-50 units is what I like to build / makes sense to set up for a build.
