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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Difficult to see how you've finished this but the next step should be make sure the exposed top edge of the metal baseplate is not a sharp edge. Either fold the metal over to create a smooth curve, or find some rubber moulding to cover any sharp edge. Any sharp metal edge will cut straight through riding gear, and you. I had an accident on a bike with a screen made of plastic with a sharpish edge and it cut through denim jeans and through my leg down to the bone.

Thanks for the warning mate

First of all , thanks Delnary for the idea :D
I have taken a front fender of a crashed car (trash bin) and cut a similar OEM screen

First of all , thanks Delnari for the idea
I mounted the same screen a different way.
Two strips of aluminium 3 x 25, 4 x 5 x 35 screws, 4 x 5 x 25 bolts with lock nuts, 4 x 10mm spacers and 4 x 10 rubber washers.
Screen $83 and everything else $14
Happy with the job
Disappointed with the protection effect:doh:
Although it does look good:)

Nice job, where did get this/find product? Maybe this is just another form Polystyrene comes in!
Anyhow, Looking at the height, the four bolts should cope easily with the extra stress.

Thanks mate
I get four sheets from the car front fender of a Renault. I taked it form the trash.

Maybe i could attach a "T plate" of aluminiun to give more stiffness to the structure
