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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This bike continues to amaze me, 155 km today of a mix of twisty bitumen and gravel roads, dropped down to a 14 tooth front, just about perfect gearing now. I chose this to ride today over my 1190 Kato Adventure R, and had an absolute ball!

Amazing bit of kit!!

Hi what kind of tires you have on the front wheel?

I'm running a Pirelli MT21 front (90/90-21) and Dunlop D606 rear (130/90-18), heard a few were running this combination and the results so far are really impressive, the Dunlop rear is awesome for a knobby on the tar.

Getting towards the end of the season here. Icy roads are not much fun with whats left of these tires. A bit of pavement riding is going to have to do until the spring.
 
We've had a very long Indian Summer here, so I managed one last ride before the first snow storm.
This is mid way up "Heart Attack Hill" in the Kelly Flats riding area.
Sadly, I didn't make it to the top. The hill turns into very loose rocks and I couldn't get enough traction with the Heidenau scout

This is what this hill did to the rear tire. The Heidenau scout doesn't like rocks!

The Heidi Scout is really a 50/50 compromise tyre and tread just not deep or aggressive enough for loose stuff … oh and becomes a slick in mud! :eek: I am using a Mitas C02 (known as the Stoneking) at present for this type of riding. :thumbsup:

This was the first offroad adventure I did with the SM.
Is the TE front fender any better than the SM one?

If fitting this screen then the bottom mount holes need to be drilled very close to the bottom of the 630 headlight mask, this allows clearance for the lower nuts, there is a rib on the back of the stock headlight mask, bolt holes need to be positioned below the rib.


I have just got the same screen, did you pack out the bottom fixings with spacers or just flex the screen to fit, was wondering if flexing it and putting it under tension would make it more susceptible to cracking?
 
Damn, tried to attach the picture og the KTM 690 screen posted by Jveswynn to show what I was talking about, didn't work, I hate technology.
