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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Routing brake line on headlight equipped TXC?

I have replaced the stock number plate with an Acerbis DHH headlight. With the stock setup, the brake line routes over the number plate and has a guide so it doesn't get caught around the back of the number plate.

With a headlight, I have routed the line behind the light but when the forks compress it has a tendency to get caught around the front of the light. For now I took a zip tie, wrapped it around the brake line and tightened to about a 3/4" diameter. I then zip-tied that tie to the fork tube. I am not convinced this is enought so I have zipped the brake line to the handlebar clamp in a similar manner. I'll check out a TE at the dealer tomorrow and see how they are routed but maybe someone here has a better solution?

NC,

Some times you could fool the headlight location by installing the rubber mounting straps and black mounting plates on the outside of the headlight mounts, then put the screw heads from the inside and the nuts on the outside for cable clearance.

This widens the area from side to side and the cable will ride out wider and not snag..

Hope it helps

Chow, Carl
