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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Problem with rear subframe / tail-light assembly holder

The small ladder-like thing that juts out rearmost from the tail and holds the tail-light assembly, keeps cracking on my bike always at the same spot on the right-hand-side. Is there a permanent fix to this problem? Happened twice already and when it happens, it causes the entire tail-light assembly to wobble dangerously when the bike is idling or ridden over bumps. I am worried that the entire ladder-frame assembly might break off and cause the tail-light to get sucked in by the rear tyre and cause a lock-up. I can't order a new part because I am in India and the shipping would kill me.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!
 
See the sticky at the top of this forum, te630 sub frame mods. There are ways to reinforce it. Some bolt on, others require removal of the subframe from the bike and welding in gussets. Since you have to repair yours, might as well go for one of the weld reinforcement options.
