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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Here's mine. Nothing special, other than it's a TE630, which as I'm finding out is pretty special all on it's own. :-) First time on anything other than paved or gravel roads, and first ride with knobbies. Bike had Pirelli Scorpions on it when I picked it up. Good time.
 
Another couple from the weekend. McLean Creek in Alberta, Canada. Is there a "dirtiest 630" thread anywhere? lol

 
Just made it through this whole thread...some great bikes in here, but where's all the SMS's? This thread's like 75% TEs!

Now then, a few things...


What did you do to black yours out? Plasti-dip too? Wrap?

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...

Where did you get those turn signals? They look clean! A nice alternative to stock I think. I want them.
 
Search for DMP flush LED marker lights on ebay, they come in smoke and amber and run about $30
 
Any issues with vibration or anything with them? Good to go since you've had them?

No issues in almost 3 years, just need to trim down the flange on the plastic nut that holds them in if you stick them where the factory ones go. They are super bright. You will need a digital flasher relay if you go with LED's front and rear. If you just do rear without the relay, they will flash at double speed, if you do both, they won't flash without the digital relay.

HERE is the relay you need, it plugs right in place of the factory flasher (in the fuse block under the seat)
 
Tits. Thanks dude! I think I'm gonna go with these flush mounts for the rear and then handguard mounted LEDs for the front.
 
See I like the Zeta LEDs, but not the plastic profiles. I like the Acerbis profiles and was thinking about sourcing the LEDs and using a dremel and some epoxy or something to mount them to the Acerbis guards.

I have done exactly this with Barkbusters - worked great.:rolleyes:
 
How'd you attach the LEDs? I'm worried adhesive will vibrate off, but also worried about epoxy damaging the LEDs. Can you post a pic of your setup?
 
They have a cover plate with two small screws that clamp the LED's in place if you are careful with the cutout. I put some clear silicone around the inner edge as well - will not damage anything and dampens vibes. Make sure you get the left and right the correct way around as they are angled for best visibility.
 
Purchased an OEM 14 tooth counter and swapped into a 14/42 combo. Had been running a 15/44 but wasn't so keen about the back knobs ripping apart the mud guard with the stock chain.

The TE's stable mates are looking on with envy tonight...
