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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tail Tidy

My fender broke and I decided to purchase the Tail Tidy. I ordered it in August from Twisted Throttle and received it in late October. I was told it was on backorder.

I installed it over the weekend and it sure was a pain to fit. A lot of bending, grunting, and cursing went into it. The install required cutting the wiring for the license plate bulb and wiring in a LED replacement. Super glue was required to fit the hood that affixes to the LED that illuminates the license plate, and the rubber trim below the tail light.

It was not an easy install. The end result does look good and I am confident it will last as long as the bike. This is not a plug and play type part. But if you can deal with the install, not a bad piece of kit.

Apparently the R&G tail tidy was bent in the manufactures jig from day one and it was stated by my local Stealer that they told R&G about the problem last year and had sent them a bike to rectify it which I believe may be now sorted but have not come across any new ones due to the lack of models in our area.

The holes were off by a great margin on my unit. I hope they have fixed this. Some will not have the patients to deal with a part that was not manufactured to the correct spec. If I wasn't located on the other side of the world, I would have exchanged the part for a unit that actually fit without forcing it to.
 
The tail tidy held up perfectly on the trails. This past weekend I did a 150 ride 70/30 trail to pavement.
