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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Skid Plate for a 2006 TE610

Interested in purchasing a Skid Plate for my 2006 TE610... Hoping to buy a Hyde Racing Poly Skid Plate. Less sound reflection than an aluminum plate... Called Hyde Racing today. They list their plate as fitting a 2007 and later. They said the 2006 was different. I called Hall's... they suggested I look at the parts fische for the 2006 vs. 2007 to see if the frame and engine case numbers match...
They are exact matches from 2006 to 2007. The frame is the same in 2008 as well, but the engine number is different.
I think I'm going to order one and see if it fits... Anyone still here who has put a Hyde Racing skid plate on a 2006 that can verify that it will fit?
 
I think the cases/frame are the same between 06 & 07... Only the fuel system changed (carb to FI)
 
I ordered up the Hyde Racing Skid Plate from BRP.
Installed the Bag Racks today and the Wolfman Bags...
Fully adventurized now... 5 Gal IMS Tank, GPS, SPOT, Wolfman Tank Bag, Wolfman Panniers, plus a couple of 1 liter fuel bottles for extra insurance...
Should easily have 300 miles of range now...

Just a few follow-up pictures to show that the Hyde Racing Skid Plate (Part # HP-SG-99) does fit a 2006 TE610...

As you can see, it's a perfect fit on a 2006. It's made of a Teflon/Co-Polymer which creates much less reflected and resonant noise than an aluminum skid plate. It's simple to install (less than 10 minutes).

The bike is about ready for some fun trips...
