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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone here adapt a low fender from another bike? This is a low fender from a KTM 950 Adventure that my buddy put on his KTM 690 using aluminum flat bar to make some brackets. I just laid it in place to see what it would look like. I like it!

Read this as inspiration:

In my Strada I install front fender from F800GS almost without any alterations (only two new drilled holes in fender, used longer bolts with some spacer and cut a piece of plastic from the inside near to the ABS sensor) and replace wheels to 21" (rear to 18").

But in Terra can try replace axis clamp to one from Strada or use some adaptation like from hotrodwelding.

Why wouldnt you just use the Strada fender and hardware for the Terra? There is just one support on the right side that needs to be connected with a bent/tapped flat bar to create a bracket. It cannot be purchased from the dealer as it actually comes with the Strada hub apparently. Below is my Terra with adapted Strada fender and you can barely see the small makeshift black bracket near the hub. Best part is that the fender, ferring cover, and all the hardware were like $80 USD. Remember that when you remove the Terra fender the ferring is left exposed. Thanks.

I dont think the strada low fender will fit the 21" front wheel of the Terra. Someone correct me if im wrong though!

Not really.

The Strada fender needs to sit a little higher on the 21" Terra wheel to clear it.

I made my own brackets/hangers from aluminium flatbar.
I have switched recently to Kayaba front forks, so the Strada low fender will not fit anymore. I have it for sale, including the brackets.
