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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE (not 610) rear rack strength/longetivity question.

Heroes Ride Huskys. The others follow.
I have seen many pics of TE's (non 610) with rear racks. I am tired of my back pack and have been looking at getting a rack, prob. a Pro Moto billit rack as it seems the best available atm. Anyways, last night I saw new pics (thx glangston :thumbsup:) of where that pesky flasher relay under the seat goes. The flasher was impossible to hook with my fingers so I used my leatherman micra's little finger nail tool to push, pull and pry it on. Doing so I bent it's mounting tab inward quite a bit. :eek: I was able to push it straight with my thumb. :eek:

So if the sub-frame material is this easily bent is it really safe to install a rack on the dohc TE's?
 
I stuck the OEM 610 rack on my TE510 and have one 175 mile offroad ride in carrying a full .8 gl of fuel and my Kriega US5 packed with all my tools/tube on top of the Acerbis fuel tank. So far so good. Like you I tired of the backpack routine.
