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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pics Of Your 630!

A friend of mine bought himself a BMW F 800 R ( or something like that ) and it has some really slim white indicators... ( blinks yellow ) I am looking for something similar for mine..

Ater a day of awesome slab twisties and steep loose rocky ascents and descents, I can honestly say that if anyone doesn't love this bike, THEY ARE RIDING IT WRONG ********************************************************************************
 
Now find some stubby LED rear blinkers to replace the floppy stock ones. I kept kicking mine getting on/off, and they dance around like a chihuahua after a pot of coffee...

Looks a lot cleaner this way I think...

That is sweet looking!!
 
Just returned from a long trail ride thru the West. Here are a few pics of my loaded bike. Absolutely no issues what-so-ever thru 2800 miles of everything from pavement to gravel to very rough forest service roads to wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail. I used Continental TKC 80 on the rear and it was a good choice for this ride. I still have plenty for pavement use but the knobs are down to less than 1/4" so I'll change before hitting the dirt again. Up front I used a D606; good front tire and very little wear showing now. First pic up near 9500 feet in the Gravely Range, and the second just west of Yellowstone National Park.

Oh yes, Webb side stand in it's natural element, and home made luggage rack doing it's duty!
