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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Plastic sets

As I managed to crash my '07 TE610 after 100km (stupid agressive Brembo-brakes

) I am looking for some new plastic. Companies like Acerbis and UFO make cheap plastic sets for other Husky models, but they don't seem to make any for the 610. Are there any other options out there? My experience with other bikes is that OEM plastic is rather pricey.
 
Other than the front fender, there's nothing to do but buy the OEM plastics. Call Dan at MotoXotica or George at Uptite, they will both know what works. Interestingly, some of the plastics like the tank shrouds aren't to bad price wise, but others, like the back fender, are really pricey.

I've had some success painting some of the parts, and I'm beginning to experiment with some repair techniques to make my plastics last longer like a two part flexible filler that I got at an auto paint shop that looks promising.
 
Thanks
I placed an order for OEM stuff at my local dealer, but it's already taking a week for just getting the prices...
I live in Holland, so getting stuff shipped from the States will probably not that interesting after shipping, customs and taxes.
